Was this a problem on Linux or Solaris? I had a few problems with nfs 
server timeouts using (i think) the 2.4.22/23 kernels, but it seems to 
have been fixed in 2.4.24/25. My definition of large files was 1gb or 
there abouts.


NFS isn't really distributed (in that there's only one server with data 
on it). However, if you're looking at NFS, what about SMB/CIFS (samba)? 
Does Solaris support this?
