In this particular case, NFS won't be possible. The purpose of this 
Cobbler is for students to build their own servers, and as a policy we 
do not export NFS to untrusted subnets. Hrmmm... --available-as need not 
be NFS, right? I suppose I can work around this by making the trees 
available through the web server manually and do a "cobbler import" with 
--available-as=http://...

This might be a reasonable alternative since this server has a single 
purpose and plenty of local disk space that will otherwise go unused, 
but I would like to avoid the duplicate data, if possible.


Thanks again,
