[K12OSN] NFS and Samba questions

Greetings-
I am thinking about using multiple NFS servers, with filesystems mounted
on one central Samba / NFS server ( effectively making the setup similar to
Microsoft's DFS for NT) so that all my staff and students can access their
work from both the Linux terminals I have going (great work guys!) and the
Win 9x workstations throughout the District. My biggest concern is the
performance of the Samba machine. How beefy of a machine am I going to need
to act as the "hub" for this layout? I expect to have no more than 300
simultaneous requests to it, and that is fine, that hardware shouldn't have
a problem with that, but how does adding NFS to the mix impact things? I
have not used NFS before and not found anything online that seems to refer
to using NFS and Samba together this way to achieve a multi-platform
approximation of DFS. Any thoughts?
