If there are no stupid questions, then what kind of questions do stupid people ask? Do they get smart just in time to ask questions?

I agree but I need to provide a resonable explanation. IIS and other web systems are out of the question as a consultant has recommended this. All they want is a location to store the default homepage for when browsers startup that has resiliance builtin.

The consultants are wrong. Do not mess with SYSVOL or risk bringing the entire domain down."
I'm Certifiable, not cert-ified.
It just means my answers are from experience, not a book.
There are no more PDC's! There are DC's with FSMO roles!

So a consultant recommended AGAINST using a built in web server application in favor of an AD feature not designed for what they're recommending you do? The logic there should be all you need. If it's not tied to a login script or GPO, you'd have to kill me to use sysvol for anything else.
What's the need for resilience? Seems to me if it's that important, you should use the correct feature. You can NLB web servers if needed.

It seems like haveing this url on a rebust location is important and should include replication.
Use a GPO, by default GPOs are stored in the SysVol (without getting into too many details) which repliactes to all DCs and can be made available to all or targeted users depending on OU. You can accomplish this without actually making any changes or evening going into the SysVol.
