Back when I was doing sysadmin stuff for a group of engineers, my
usual approach for that sort of thing was to use amd (this was late
1990s - 2001) to have maps so it would set up NFS mounts if the
file system being served was from a different host (from the one
running amd), but instantiating a symlink instead if the file system
resided on the current host.

IIRC, this was a fairly common practice with amd (and the like).
