Sorry, haven't read that, my bad - I did spend a good half hour googling symlinks on VMS before asking here though...

Anyway, 

The source is DKA0:[SYS0.DECNET] which I would like to appear as DKA0:[SYS0.SYSCOMMON.APACHE.HTDOCS.DECNET]

What's the problem with that?

I'm trying to share some files over both FAL and HTTP, thought a symlink =
would be the easiest way to do it.

Do you know the answer or?

The problem is that I don't know what SYS$SPECIFIC nor what APACHE$ROOT are!

There's a little DCL command called '$ SHOW LOGICAL' which would help here.

And, FWIW, all of this has been well explained in the "OpenVMS File System
Internals" book.
