I would be pretty cautious with that. Unless your NFS server handles fcntl perfectly, you could be in big trouble. I'd try a torture test with multiple processes on different machines banging on it. Many people have reported locking issues with various NFS servers over the years. Even if it does work, NFS is slow enough that it may be better to use Cache::Memcached or just MySQL at that point. - Perrin
