>>Just like NFS does. The transivity isn't in the control of the person

this touches an old nerve: NFS didn't (at least in Sun's implementation).
indeed, it limited exports to a physical file system, so that every machine
needed to know the mounting hierarchy of every other.  scales up well,
as you can well imagine!  anyhow, to get transitivity,
you need to work at it (patches possibly available on request, if i can find
them in my archive) and even then it doesn't work completely
(but it's much better than nothing), until you patch the clients...
one annoying thing is that it never became part of the traditional Jumbo Patch.

still, you're right: NFS could have done that, and perhaps the suenix
re-implementations do.
