Well, maybe in 4.0.2 (-:. I'm unsure if the question was clearly answered. If you want to move the swap to another file system, such as /home/swap/, this is ok. If /home is already exported, then you cannot export /home/swap/. You will however, have to give root access for that client to /home. This does present some security risks, but the only other alternates is to live with small swap spaces, increase the /exports/swap partition, or create a new partition dedicated to client swap files. The default size for /exports/swap in the suninstall installation is rediculously small.
