I'm looking to setup a shared nix store for our HPC clusters.  Googling for a 
shared store only gives a brief discussion back at the end of 2011

http://lists.science.uu.nl/pipermail/nix-dev/2011-December/007381.html

My current plan of attack (informed by that thread) is to setup a sever 
(hereafter the "nix server") running the nix daemon that exports

- a read-only version of the store
- a read/write version of the gcroots and profiles directories

Machines that mount the store and gcroots/profiles would then be set to forward 
the nix daemon socket to the nix server.

At some point I could extend this to do distributed builds by setting the nix 
server up with the standard build hook.

Cheers!  -Tyson
