Ok, so on NT you want to have one Network-Drive which leads to files 
on 2 unix machines. You can do that. Use one unix machine and install 
samba, share a directory. Within that directory place the mount point 
for the second unix machine and do a NFS mount.

Better for the network load would be to install samba on both unix 
machines (NIS for acconts and plaintext passwords and securtiy = 
server for encrypted passwords) and use 2 network drives on NT
