With Linux, it is not possible to have a swap file over NFS.

This will not gain you any advantage. It's better to leave the memory free
for Linux to work out what the best use of the memory is than to allocate it
to a swap device.
Since Linux does not require a swap file, I would suggest not using one if
you do not need one.
