We do this and it works very well. One thing that has always confused me though - the cifs.homedir works - but if i set up /filer/vol0/home as a

share and

browse to it all i see are the unresolved links. How come it can do one and not the other? It'd be nice to be able to browse to one spot on the filer and see all the home dirs....

For now that won't work because a symlink can't be followed out of a share (for security reasons). We're working on a way to get around that restriction.
