I thought people were doing that with k12ltsp for ages and k12linux was
supposed to make things more transparent for local apps - which would
also need home dir network access. You could use a dedicated subnet
with separate NICs for server<->sever NFS access if you need to nail it
down. Using multiple servers does mean you are likely to want a central
authentication system, though.
