You should have a different /var/ (or at leat /var/run) for every client on the NFS-Server. Most of the Unix Lockfiles are not designed (i.e. no hostname) to be shared accross multiple hosts, one cant guess which PID belongs to which process on which host. Simply mount /var from server:/nfsexport/var-x.x.x.x with x.x.x.x the ip-number of the client. Then /var/run is exclusively used and you can clear it at bootup.
