And that IP address is probably a load balancer...  I'm pretty sure that this single IP thing is not part of the performance measures.

I've done this with IIS (CIFS share) and, while I can confirm that it works, it's a pain to set up and the performance is very poor compared to local filesystem access.
 
While this might be a good solution for some situations (like, where the tile servers are behind a firewall?), I think that it would be best to also have the option of being able to set up a local webserver on the tile servers to serve the tiles directly to the clients rather than having to do everything through the web tier server.
