Anyone who NFS mounts something over all of /home is doing it wrong.

Remote home directories should ALWAYS be mounted individually, and

Perhaps it is allready been solved, but i remember a scaling problem
with that.
Giving each user it's own nfs-mount works ok, and has also a number of
other nice options (krb, encrypt), but does it also perform for larger
number of users, let say >>1000 ?

(but as said, this could be a thing of the past)
