so if I run apt-get dist-upgrade, it will not automatically update the
nfsroot for lenny? Looking at packages.debian.org, the fai-nfsroot and
fai-server packages versions for lenny and squeeze are 3.2.17 vs 3.4.7
respectively. So I assumed that upgrading the os would also upgrade
those packages. I'll obviously have to test this before running the
upgrade :)

I will look into this as well. Thanks.
