[Openstack] Running multiple Glance instances?

Assuming some sort of shared filesystem, can I run multiple glance
indexes in order to distribute the i/o load across multiple systems?
Do I need to run both the registry and API service in each location?

We're running with an NFS-backed data store, and it seems that we
could eliminate some network i/o if we were to have each compute note
run the glance service locally (but all managing the same directory).

Does this make any sense?
