Does everyone who runs an Oracle server also NFS export all their Oracle partitions so that users can remotely run the Oracle clients ?

In other words, how much of the Oracle server/client distribution do I need to NFS-export so that the clients (including Developer/2000) work ? The whole of $ORACLE_HOME and $ORACLE_DOC ? Just $ORACLE_HOME/bin ?

In an ideal world, I'd like the Oracle server machine NOT to NFS-export anything and just copy the appropriate binaries/config files to another NFS server. However, I have a horrible feeling that this is going to be a nightmare because $ORACLE_HOME/bin now holds a confusing mix of 200 client and server binaries ! Plus I have no idea how much of the $ORACLE_HOME tree the clients need to see...
