Hi

In good hardware, with good available bandwidth, I have never had any
problems.
As an exercise, copy a big (10Gb+) file over the network from your server to
the destination server. Use Explorer or XCOPY. See it this works. now try
copying 2 versions of the file at the same time to the destination. If both
are successful, you should not have a problem.

Networks are un-reliable.

If it is so critical to DR, any reason you are running in a configuration
that is not fully supported?

Have a look at
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;304261 to see what
MS thinks how you need to do it.
