This is possible. I use a western digital 8TB NAS, and it has an iTunes server on it. I store my iTunes library there, and point my iTunes from my Mac to this folder. And I have no issues. My appleTV pulls and streams the media content from there just fine. I turn on home sharing, and use the same appleID that my iTunes library has, and I have no issues at all. Let me know if you have anymore questions.
