You can upgrade the server to stretch, but you should make a backup
of the nfsroot used for jessie installations. You can then have two
nfsroots, one for the stretch one for the jessie installation.
A jessie installation may also run from an stretch nfsroot, but it may
cause some problems. So using the old nfsroot for your jessie
installations is the best way to do it. And then build a new stretch
nfsroot using the new FAI version for your stretch installations.

We have switched from Ubuntu 12.04 LTS this year to Debian jessie.
Both installs ran fine at the same time from a jessie nfsroot. I am
currently testing stretch on the clients, and this too uses the same
jessie nfsroot. So yes, your approach is probably the safest, but it
may not be necessary at all.<br>
