You might also try running a kfs server off of one of
your Plan 9 boxes.  It's probably similar in performance
to u9fs, but you get the precise Plan 9 semantics and it's
easy to set up assuming you've got a Plan 9 box
already.  

You need to boot a cpu server kernel (perhaps with vga) or at least
change devcons to let you read #c/key on your terminal.
Then run disk/kfscmd listen.

I used this setup during the summer I spent at Harvard.  I booted
my office Plan 9 terminal completely off my dorm room
Plan 9 terminal a few ethernets away.  I didn't notice
any performance problems, and it was really nice to have
identical environments whether I was in my room or
my office.  This is, by far, the feature of Plan 9 that I miss
most when I'm not at Bell Labs.  (#2 is the dump.)
