Installing a minimal version of SUN OS with full functionality

I am currently upgrading our machines (4/330's and a 4/370)
to Sun OS 4.1.1. As the full version of the operating system
takes up 120+ Megabytes I am looking at ways to avoid putting
the entire operating system on each of our 5 machines while
still giving all machines access to a full copy of the OS.
I have investigated two options :
1) Selectively mounting low use directories from a server
machine.
2) Mounting the entire /usr partion externally and then using
the tfs to overlay high use files.
Has anyone experimented with either of these two options or
has used a different, more efficient configuration?
Thanks,
