shared home directory placement

hello all, I have a best practices question. I have a large pool of unix folks that have shared storage for home directories (NFS). Right now, they only have access to these directories from systems that are located in the TRUST zone of our network, but we are redesigning things to segment systems further which will put some systems into a less trusted zone. When it's all said and done, hosts that will be in a dmz and hosts that will be in trust will still need access to this NFS server. What I was wondering is if it would be a Terrible Idea to move the NFS server into a DMZ of it's own, out of the Trust zone, and allow access to it from the hosts in different DMZs as well as hosts in the trust zone. If the NFS server is compromised by an upstream system, policy won't allow that system to initiate connections outside of it's own DMZ. I guess the short question is have any of you setup shared storage that is accessible from trusted and non trusted zones? -- Jason Luck favors the prepared
