squid and O_APPEND

Ok. While I am at it, I checked out the man page of
open and it contains this paragraph about O_APPEND

O_APPEND
    The file is opened in append mode. Before
each
    write, the file pointer is positioned at the end
of
    the file, as if with lseek. O_APPEND may lead
to
    corrupted files on NFS file systems if more
than
    one process appends data to a file at once.
This
    is because NFS does not support appending to
a
    file, so the client kernel has to simulate
it,
    which can't be done without a race condition.

Does that mean squid may not work well if the swap is
in NFS? Would it be better if we do lseek(fd, offset,
SEEK_END) instead of O_APPEND?

Cheers,
Yee Man
