My Understanding: If I got you right it should be 2 times yes.
First of all it does not really take long to to install VMWare Server, 2 times domino and test what you ask.
From what I was told (I did not test)
1.
DAOS is enabled or not enabled on the database level. IF enabled, the attachment is identified, and in whatever other database it does exist, too, identified properly, too.
1 + 2.
DAOS happens on a level so far down, that there is no need to take care of it e.g. in a lotus script agent or for the replicator (or journaling).
2. A lokal replica (Notebook) is never DAOS enabled, even if the server copy is. Don't see a reason why some other server would not be able to work the same way - and don't see a reason, why one would not go for it the whole way, once you are involved with its handling.
3. The question you did not ask: Once the last document with a reference of the attachment is deleted, the File stays for some time (a few weeks) on the servers harddrive. => many restore scenarios will not need to restore the file itself, as it is most likely still there.
As allready said, I did not really test anything, yet, but I sure love the concept!
