Copying directories containing symbolic links

Managers,
    I am having trouble copying a directory that contains symbolic links. I
am used to the Tru64 version of cp which, in conjuntion with the -R option,
copies recursively but creates links as links, pipes as pipes, etc. How can
I copy a link to a directory instead of copying the directory itself? I
know this can be done by hand but our DBA my client doesn't want to hear
that. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Allen
