The early versions of WebTen did, in fact, support NFS mounting.  The 
idea was that webmasters might want to store their content on an OS X 
Server (nee Rhapsody) machine.  And, yes, the performance with this 
kind of operation was fine.  I don't think this aspect of WebTen has 
been tested recently, but it may still work. :-)
