Why? Aren't you monitoring the NFS server?
What if the NFS server is a NetApp or EMC box?
Or, do you really want alerts for 100 servers if one NFS server has
low disk space?
Not necessarily a lot of servers -- maybe you only detail one server to
keep an eye on the NFS partitions?
(maybe you do want it, but IMHO, it usually makes more sense to
monitor the NFS shares once on the NFS server).
Only if the NFS server allows you to put a monitor on it.  Think *big*
company and turf politics...
