Aha. Thanks for your diagram Karl. Now I know what the HOWTO means by
saying that each realserver is a client to the distributed filesystem.
BTW, before NFS, have you ever tried Coda or Intermezzo? In the NFS
HOWTO, it's mentioned that NFS 3 is still lacking some feature that Coda
has. (And also, Intermezzo claims that it's inspired by Coda. So, it's
better than Coda). NFS team say that they will cover the lacks in the
next NFS version 4.
So, do you really mean that anyhow NFS is still the best choice? Oops..
I forgot to ask: which version of NFS do you use?
