I did briefly look at it and it did look interesting, but there were
too many questions in my mind.

Right now I use a combination of amd (the automounter, not chip
company) and a boot-time config-switch that either assigns a
local-disk directory to /home or an nfs-ed directory to /home.  The
local disk version of home is simply a skeleton home that gets rdisted
before road-trips.
