Is it possible (and safe) to use an NFS mounted /var/qmail/queue/* directory?

[NOTE: I'm _not_ advocating sharing /var/qmail/queue/* tree between
several qmail servers via NFS, but instead want to use an NFS filesystem
for the /var/qmail/queue/* tree instead of using local disks which have
limited space on them in our configuration.]

We have a NetApp 760 filer with lots of disks, and it makes better
sense to use those disks rather than buying external disk packs to
attach to our QMAIL servers (on which we already use NFS mounted
MAILDIR for user mailboxes).

There was a thread on this topic a couple of years ago but no resolution
to this issue.  Here is that URL:

Would Appreciate any feedback/comments on this issue.

Thanks,
