Great idea setting up a clustered environment, and then making it all dependent on a single server.
Not only will this be slow, if the SQL server goes, so does the rest of the site. But then again, this is probably already the case since you're probably running the standard version of SQL server which doesn't support clustering. We are in the same boat with the SQL server, and I'm hoping to eventually move off it and go to something like MySQL which supports clustering for free. Either way, if you plan on making your clustered environment last, you probably should not be serving files out of a file share. DFS is a good solution, when it works.
