Program sharing on NFS

I am not sure is this plausible...

I have just built a NFS master server on a solaris box (secured by NIS)
And I have a dozen of virtual machines running 32 and 64 bits linux and windows, running different types of servers.

I am not sure is it possible to move most of the programs to the NFS and have symbolic links pointing to the location on the NFS. This way all vm will be able to have the same versions of program for consistency (such as all Win2008R2 will have a symbolic link "shortcut", or /bin directory in Linux will be replaced by symbolic links pointing to a bin directory on NFS).

for example, a simple "ls" I already have 3 different versions on 3 different 64-bit linux distributions, so I would like to "standardize" it for a consistent development environment

NAME
rpcdebug - set and clear NFS and RPC kernel debug flags SYNOPSIS
rpcdebug -vh rpcdebug -m module rpcdebug -m module -s flags... rpcdebug -m module -c flags... DESCRIPTION
The rpcdebug command allows an administrator to set and clear the Linux kernel's NFS client and server debug flags. Setting these flags causes the kernel to emit messages to the system log in response to NFS activity; this is typically useful when debugging NFS problems. The first form in the synopsis can be used to list all available debug flags. The second form shows the currently set debug flags for the given module. The third form sets one or more flags, and the fourth form clears one or more flags. The value all may be used to set or clear all the flags for the given module. OPTIONS
-c Clear the given debug flags. -h Print a help message and exit. When combined with the -v option, also prints the available debug flags. -m module Specify which module's flags to set or clear. Available modules are: nfsd The NFS server. nfs The NFS client. nlm The Network Lock Manager, in either an NFS client or server. rpc The Remote Procedure Call module, in either an NFS client or server. -s Set the given debug flags. -v Increase the verbosity of rpcdebug's output. FILES
/proc/sys/sunrpc/{rpc,nfs,nfsd,nlm}_debug procfs-based interface to kernel debug flags. SEE ALSO
rpc.nfsd(8), nfs(5), syslogd(8). BUGS
