I use CIFS to mount 2 dissimilar NAS's on the DIR/FD/SD host. One is the source, the other is the backup destination. It works just fine. I didn't attempt to put the FD or SD on them natively since they are locked down OS's.
I took the precaution of mounting the source read only. I suppose NFS would work too but since I had CIFS mounts for other reasons it seemed sensible to use that.
