I use it to update my bedroom machine all the time. It I see. I did the same earlier. Certainly, it worked great. The trick is not to export the build server's filesystems to other hosts at all. Suppose they are less secure then the buildserver. In my case, they are backbone routers and regional Internet servers (with a transit traffic and several Internet services) and the buildserver is a box inside the NOC LAN. I don't like even to export its filesystems read-only :-) -- Konstantin V. Chuguev.
