I want to set up NFS so I can use the disk space on my server to store apps from ipkg. The one problem that I'm not sure how to fix: what happens if the server is down/rebooting? I don't want to knock out my internet connection just because the NFS mount isn't available. Is there an easy way to set it up to install non-essential apps to the NFS mount and to ignore them if they're not available?

Thanks,

Use this howto to point ipkg and LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable at your nfs mount.  Then, just install the non-essential applications to the mount.
