I'm not sure what the intended meaning of this question is but I'll give
some information and hope it's the right stuff.

The workstation NFS mounts / and /usr.  The /etc/fstab reads:

10.3.3.2:/netboot/root  /    nfs defaults 0 0
10.3.3.2:/netboot/usr   /usr nfs defaults 0 0

The two are separate so that /usr can be made ro at a later date.  There
is no separate mount of /var.

I'm not sure what you mean by "node".
