	I think I'd rather have samba doing its exporting directly
	from a single server with a scsi attachment to the disks
	or disk array...

	I'm assuming here you need a large-scale and scalable
	samba service, which you will not get with samba re-exporting
	from NFS.  Two trips across the 'net is one two many.
