Hm. I think this is more of a mount question. If you have two machines, each with a /mysql/data directory then you cannot mount /mysql/data from one machine to the other machine and have the directories 'merge' into one big tree including 'all' contents. If you mount overtop of a directory that has contents then the old contents will seem to disappear and you will only see the contents of the mounted drive.
If you know the specific databases then it is possible though. Just mount each individual database in the /mysql/data directory of the other machine (as long as the database names arent' the same). I've used NFS for database sharing before... in a production environment. I've since switched to builtin mysql replication... and prefer it 100x's more. It's easy to setup will do exactly what you want.
