samba - Mar 2005 - Sharing an nfs mounted directory from two different samba servers?

Due to the problems I experienced switching my users to a new server, 
I'd like now to migrate only some workstations at a time.
Since they all have to work on the same files, I though of nfs mounting 
the new server disk on the old one, so the old server would be sharing 
the nfs mounted directory while the new one would be sharing the same 
directory but from its own disk.
Is this an acceptable plan or am I going to have issues with 
locking/oplocks?

Bye

I made a simple test.
Server A has nfs mounted a directory of server B.
If I'm using server B I can see that accessing a file from A modifies 
the oplocks on server B.
Viceversa if I'm using server A, accessing a file from B doesn't 
propagate the oplock change to A :-(
Any suggestion?
