In terms of a performance issue, it is better to have more or less NFS mount  
points to/from various servers?

Example,
  In our cluster, we have dual servers, both providing various user and  
application partitions.  Server1 has our commercial apps, client space for  
Netboot clients, User space and pd software. 
  Server2 has User partitions plus various other directories:

Server1				Server2

/LocalApp			/User
/PublicApp			/User2
/User				/General_stuff
/client				/client

Would it be better to do:

1)  Single mount points for each server, i.e.,  /Server1Mount and  
/Server2Mount and then link everything over

or

2)  Separate mount points for each of the exported directories/partitions

Currently we are undertaking a mixture of 1 and 2 and we would like to make  
our NFS services more efficient.  The problem  with (1) is that it is harder  
to manage.

Suggestions???
