How to emulate having server 1 serving files off server 2?



Let's say I have a solaris 8 box (server 1) which has been serving directories using automount (for NFS) and samba. It is also the current imap server, with mailboxes being currently based off each user's home dir. I would like, for now, to move those files to server 2, a debian 3 box, for many reasons that are besides the point here. According to the O'Reilly NFS/NIS book, I cannot have an intermediate server that mounts directories off one server and make them available to its own clients. Is there a way to weasel around that? The main reason is that I am not really ready to go through all clients and change their configurations.
