I never used NFS... : haven't played around with it, but you can do interesting things with amd(8) maps to distribute the load, handle failure, etc I think this would be best suited for 'static' into (e.g. non-time critical html, php scripts with only logic, etc) - as Matt points out there are cache problems on NFS (have seen this occasionally first hand when serving up NFS builds on a lan) Thank you all for the informative answers. In the setting I am thinking about, serving big static files would be the top priority. Those files would hardly ever be updated. But on the other hand tunneling all traffic from the front-end web-servers via NFS to the storage server back and forth seems overkill to me. Ideally each storage server would transfer the content it owns directly to the user instead of tunneling it through a proxy. But I think this must be done at the application level :) Regards, Michael
