will this work?

I have an export on system A -- lets call it /data
System B does an nfs mount of A:/data on say /mnt/A
All is well.

Now lets say that I am running out of partition space on A:/data
So I add more disk space on another device, lets call it A:/data1
But I want to be able to access it under A:/data as if it was underneath /data in the first place on both system A and System B.

1) Now I know that this won't work:
    on system A: mount /data1 on /data/mymountpoint
    system B: only shows /mnt/A/mymountpoint

2) will this work?
    on system A: do a ln -s /data1 /data/mymountpoint
    will system B: see what is on /data1 ?

Or is there a better way?
