 * Kind of a late reply here, sorry.
 * There doesn’t seem to be a great built-in solution — because there doesn’t seem
   to be much demand.
 * Of the choices you suggested, NFS is the best option. I would start there. Personally,
   I like to package things as RPM’s – but this would not work with user-uploaded
   content at all.
 * One more thing to consider here: I am trying out some more exotic configurations.
   I want a way to have all of the content in one source instead of being in two
   places (database and file system). There is a Linux FUSE project called “mysqlfs”
   that lets you mount a filesystem as a MySQL schema which I have been using for
   awhile on a test system. I just mount the DocumentRoot (/var/www/html in this
   case) as a mysqlfs filesystem and then run Apache normally. For backups, I just
   have a slave DB and I can easily get all of my content in one mysqldump-generated
   SQL file.
 * This approach would not work for someone who is trying to tune the system for
   every ounce of speed – mysqlfs is not speedy at all. However, it makes backups
   and load balancing much much easier. It wouldn’t work too well with large uploads
   either (DDOS potential) so you’d have to make sure to limit the upload size. 
   WordPress doesn’t do much other than complete file reads & writes, so I wouldn’t
   expect the lack of any sort of locking to be a big limitation – please let me
   know if I’m wrong.
 * If anyone is interested in discussing this approach, please let me know. I’m 
   going to try load balancing my site with a larger number of WordPress servers
   to see what happens.
