Tom, yes it is possible to mount NFS shares outside you LAN. However, NFS is
a fairly slow method. Also, in versions of Samba pre 2.2.0 there were issues
with locking between NFS and Samba. I have read that 2.2.0 has made some
provisions to help take care of this, but I haven't tested it myself.

Subject: extending samba outside of a LAN
hello
I am new to this list
I am currently running redhat v6. samba gives me the ability to mount
my linux files onto my windows machines
one thing I am realizing is I need to be able to mount my linux folders
OUTSIDE of my LAN. I have another machine at a remote location with
a fixed IP running ADSL that I would love to be able to do a NFS mount
to my redhat directories
firstly, is it possible to do a NFS mount outside a LAN?
can anyone help me with this
tom
