It can work, if your version of NFS supports proper locking.

However, I outlined the mathematical bandwidth requirements for a tiny test
case scenario in a thread earlier in the year.  I suggest checking the
archives at http://lists.celestial.com/pipermail/filepro-list for the
relevant thread, as I'm certainly not going to redo the math at this point.

Let's just say it's not advisable.
