For some years I shared /usr/local on my LAN.

I used it to share stuff across the LAN that was outside package-manangement, 
such as yp* before RH adopted it.

You could equally-well have /usr/local on per-machine DASD and use it for 
software that is not used across machines. Just as a fer-instance, you want 
DB2 on just one machine. Put it somewhere in /usr/local.
