Has anyone setup a Mac OS 10.2.x server to act as a
netinfo server (parent domain) to a cluster of OS X 10.2 Clients ??
And have all user homes reside on the Server.

The idea is to have simple Scalable environment 
where all user info and files reside on the server,
and additional Client machines can be added with no
serious additional incremental work.

I am looking for a 'vanilla setup', which has been reliably  running
for a while.   i.e. feedback from someone who has been there 
already not pointer.

thanks in advance !!

PS
        We have already established a scalable/reliable setup in the
following scenario:
        Solaris_NIS_plus
                and/or
        Linux_yp+NFS server  <--> OS 10.2 clients
                                  autheticates via YP or NIS
                                  and access home dirs via NFS

To configure each MAC client usually takes less then 1 minute

I am looking for equivalent using OS X 10.x server and Netinfo
