maybe have a look at unionfs. with some initrd magic, you should be able to 
mount a union of a read-only base nfs share and a read-write per-domain share 
as root filesystem.

if you don't want to have the union in domU, you could also try to export a 
seperate union over nfs for each domU from your fileserver, but use caution 
there, trying to use kernel-nfsd to export a unionfs has caused me several 
Oopses...
