I don't know about NFS, but I remember someone doing something similar
to what you describe using geom_gate for the remote component. See
ggated(8) and ggatec(8) for how to set up an use a geom_gate provider.
Geom_mirror works with GEOM providers, and I don't believe NFS fulfills
this requirement. So, it's unlikely that geom_mirror with a NFS
component would be possible.
Note that the geom_mirror + geom_gate synchronisation would be one-way.
Cheers,
Paul.
