I have never seen re-exporting a directory working.

What you can do is routing with ipchains so all nodes on a cluster's private
ethernet can mount a filesystem on an external system.  

Also on the subject I found that auto-mounting /home on demand (see
/etc/auto.misc) was much more reliable than trying to keep the mounts
permanently up.
