Having experienced some of the horrible results of doing things that aren't "UNIX-y enough", even on ostensibly UNIX-oriented file systems like NFS, I'm inclined to assume that whatever it is you want to do is going to be another source of hate when you get it done. The *only* network file system I've used that gave me proper UNIX semantics on remote file systems was OpenNET on Microsoft Xenix.
