If NFS did it, it would be a neat trick.  On a classic 3000, program
files were mapped into virtual memory (code segments were swapped from
the program file/SL directly, rather than copying them to VM).  While
I'm not the internals wizard by far on MPE/iX, I'm relatively certain
that this is still the case (although virtual spaces, rather than code
segments are involved).  Intervening between VSM and the file system
would be decidedly non-trivial (although not impossible, as the file
system does mapped file I/O, and remote file equates would have to do
essentially the same thing).
