DFS and Fileshare Consolidation

We have 1 server with numerous fileshares (18) and most are mapped through
drive letters. I am thinking of implementing DFS and just let all the
shares hang off of it as DFS links - and just have one mapped share - to the
root. IS this feasible on use of DFS? I ask because DFS is mainly for
Shares on DIFFERENT servers - what about consolidating shares from ONE
server?
