If I distill your question a little bit, are you asking if the
frontend can stream storage group content directly from a slave
backend?

Side notes:
1. Re NFS glitchiness - have you tried SMB yet?

2. You could put master backends on both sides of the link, then
choose which backend you want to connect to whenever you start the
frontend, perhaps with 2 different shortcuts.
