Off the top of my head, I'd say you want to set the backend up as a slave, 
set the IP for the current backend as master, mount your nfs properly and 
set up the proper directory structure, put the cards in the front end and 
configure them, and make sure the boxes are checked correct to not allow any 
transcoding or commercial cutting jobs to run on that slave.

My question is why you'd want to do that?
