Well but that's more or less just what I say, isn't it? It's not bound / directly related to specific user on that machine as Lennart suggests...

Any you'll see, that this fits just perfectly there when using "my definition": - "served by a server" (I didn't explicitly mention point in the original mail) - home dirs are not dynamically generated - precious - not just internally used (with respect to the NFS server) - not volatile/temporary (of course seen at a whole,.. single files my of course be temporary,.. but that's the owner's - the user - business.
