SparcServer supporting multiple-architecture clients

I have a  SUN 4/280, 24 MB of memory, with a couple of Hitachi disks and I
would like this server, currently running SUN OS 4.1, to support up to 20
diskless clients (3/60; 3/80; Sparc stations ss1, 4/20 ...)

What do you think is the best strategy to support multiple architecture
diskless clients with minimum amount of disk space  available ?

What do I need to add to the existing /export/exec partition ?

Also,  will the use of TMPFS (mounting /tmp in swap)  likely to  increase
the system performance under this  circumstance? If so, how many megabytes
do I need to reserve for the swap partition?  (all clients come with 8 MB
of physical memory; office automation users).

 Many thanks,
 Tony
