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.
