   Why would you want to?  I do little with NFS on VMS, so I
know nothing, but isn't the relevant proxy database on the
NFS _server_, which, presumably, is _not_ "booted from
read-only media"?  At least one of us seems to be missing
something fundamental.

   See also section 23.3.  I'll admit that that doc does not
club the reader over the head with the location of the proxy
database, but there are clues.  For example, "/HOST=CLIENT1".
If this were being done on CLIENT1, then why would you need
to specify the client?
