file systems are very latency sensitive.
CIFS might work best *if* your using a WAN optimization appliance,
I'm not sure how much support NFS gets from those vendors.
iSCSI certainly is the worst, block devices are very intolerant of
latency.
AFS may be another option though quite a bit more complicated, as
far as I know it's a layer on top of an existing file system that
is used for things like replication

I have no experience with it myself.

Thanx nate, this is what I wanted to hear :)
So, is there any benefit in using NFS over SMB in this case? The CIFS mounts can't be unmounted without a reboot, so they build-up a pool of mounts to the same server which cause extra latency
