you can do that.  Pretend you are setting up the client on any
arbitrary node, and when you mount the filesystem, you can give the
server's address just like you would for any other client.

- configure and build pvfs with kernel support
- set up servers
- load kernel module
- start pvfs2-client 
- mount -t pvfs2 tcp://server-address:3334/pvfs2-fs /<mountpoint>
