how many clients? AFAIK, on the linux computers in my department in a university just has a file server, which gets mounted by every linux box as NFS, and /home/user is just a link to /mountpoint/user I've never administered a large network before, so I don't know how relevant this information is, but the above solution seems to work for our department and supports about 500 people, 150 machines or so.
