i can't give a good answer for the rest but this one is easy.
on my home network i tell dhcp to assign static ips via
MAC

I would say if you're gonna go ahead and share /usr you may as well go
diskless.
OR: run a centrally managed group of apps over X remotely (this could
get messy tho)
this way they all run on the same machine
However what is the problem you're having with the machines having their
own /usr?

I think you are probably right about this.

Mounting just /usr over nfs is going to have non trivial
reprocussions
with dpkg I would think. That is usually what /opt is for and
probably
why debian does not use it.
I don't understand this, but I certainly want to! Why would dpkg care
or
even know if the directory it is writing
Thus spake Petro:

Is there some way to have:
- Machine is assigned a DHCP random IP
- Use the MAC to map to a hostname and then push the assigned IP into
Bind with the hostname?

uargh, you're thinking of something like MSs Active DNS (or whatever

How about setting up a custom /etc/ for each client... doing something
like:
On NFS server:
==
export/etc/
client1/
client2/
client3/

On clients:
===
mount server:export/etc/clientn /etc/
(where n is the client number...)
/etc isn't huge, so having

i don't know how you'd use the MAC to map to a hostname. you
can use it to map to an ip ..but how would you

You can specify a directory on the server to serve as the root for the
client(s).
