I just tried it out on an NFS   partition and it is working.

I am able to view an html file on ~dwalsh/public_html, which is an NFS 
partition.

You can temporarily turn off SELInux with
setenforce 0
Then try to access the page, if it still does not work then it is not 
SELinux problem,
If it does work could you look for AVC messages in the /var/log/messages 
file.
