I'm not trying to mount the nfs filesystem on the target machine but rather on the image server itself so you have something like:
nfs --> imageserver --> target the data then moves over the network and through the image server to the target. although now that you mention it having the targer mount the data would be pretty slick - you wouldn't really even need rsync at that point, though you'd need an nfs client. but if you bypass rsync you'd lose the cability of only installing pieces that changed. interesting thought though. -mark Using Tomcat but need to do more?
