It's a *really* bad idea to cross mount volumes.
I'm quite prepared to believe you, but I can't quite put my finger on
why you are right.... Can you expand a bit on why it is a really bad
idea?
Why don't you have 20 exports on a file server, each client can have 19
mount points, and rsync the local home back to the server.
Because that would slow the commonest case.... a developer changes a few
lines in one file, compile, link, go.
