Steve,

We do exactly that with samba; I would think that it would work with
netatalk, too. The samba server does get pretty bogged down when a lot of
people are hitting the NFS-mounted disk, but it does work.

Never see a movie about Egypt with an Egyptologist:

  "You know, _The Mummy_ wasn't a bad film, until about halfway through,
  when my friend leaned over to me and said, 'If you don't shut up about
  the historical inaccuracies in this thing, I'm leaving!'"
