Interesting idea!

This assumes the downstream servers have identical namespace hierarchy; right?

State management could be messy or impossible unless some sort of
transaction structure is imposed on the {walk, [open/create,
read/write]|[stat/wstat], clunk} sequences, where the server that
replies to walk first, gets that transaction.
