I'd be a little afraid of creating a single point of failure with  
NFS. I have used setups like that before, but personally prefer some  
simple distribution mechanism instead.

If you use CVS or SVN for your software you could write simple SSH  
scripts to visit hosts and do a cvs/svn up in the right place and  
then restart the clients. rsync is a good candidate as well.
