Shaun, Multiple processing reading the same fasta file off of an NFS partition has never really been a performance issue that I've ever noticed through the years on different clusters (even pushing a hundred processes accessing the same fasta). If this really is a problem for you, the obvious solution is to store the database on local disk on each node; I can't imagine any other 'simple' fix.
