There is no reason why this should not work.
I have exactly that setup.
The bedroom vdr does not have a hard disk at all.
See my posting

on this list.

Correct.

Yes, if they try to write to the same directory.

That may cause problems, see above.

I am not using my bedroom VDR for any recordings,
so that situation does not happen here.
