I sincerely recall a posting about this very same subject about 2, 3, 4 and
5 days ago.
Anyway: sounds good to me, if you do decide to use NFS. Just one thing:
/var/qmail can't be NFS mounted, or, to be exact, at least /var/qmail/queue
can't.
Some people favor a non-NFS approach. I do too but I have no choice for the
big system I'm setting up, somebody else decided for NFS...
