/var is not enough, you also need some client-writeable files in /etc
and a writeable /media and /tmp (for X etc.).
Our solution is a per-host writeable NFS mount for /var and /etc/local
where we link all files from /etc to /etc/local that must be written
by clients (this is special and requires some maintenance tools we
developed for our distribution). /media is deployed as tmpfs which
works fine. /dev is not a problem anymore since 10.1 now uses a tmpfs
for /dev automatically. 
/tmp is a local disk partition.
