Yep. Add this line to /etc/fai/apt/sources.list and to
/etc/apt/sources.list on your install server

  deb http://www.informatik.uni-koeln.de/fai/download lenny koeln

Then your system (and your nfsroot) will get the the newest FAI
packages for lenny, even if it self runs etch. The nfsroot will be a
lenny nfsroot, since FAI 3.2.10 uses by default lenny. This is excatly
what I;m doing on my systems.

No.
