Thank you for your reply!  That makes sense.  I guess my problem is
that I'm not sure where some of these remote file systems "fit."  In
one case, I have a web app that needs read access to the log file of a
server process running on another machine.  The web app runs under nginx
and resides at

  /var/www/<fqdn>/<web-app>

I'm struggling to come up with a good idea for where the remote file
system that contains the server log file should be mounted.  One idea
for the NFS mount point I had was

  /var/www/<fqdn>/<web-app>/internal/remote-server-logs

but I wasn't super thrilled about that because it would reside under
the web-app's root, hence my wondering about a more generic mount point
location.
