That's not the way Network was meant to be used as I understood it.

The idea of the Network domain is to be used to store stuff that's 
supposed to be available
to all machines on the network ... enabling rapid deployment of client 
machines (ie a single
server exports this directory using NFS etc, and all client machines 
mount it).
The layout of subdirectories within Network should therefore mirror the 
layout of directories
in System.
