I am planning to use NFS to serve out many small files. They will be read very often so client side caching is crucial. Does NFS handle this? Is there a way to increase the client side caching in some way?

...or should I look at another solution? Syncing using rsync or unison periodically is not an option since the files are modified on the client side from time to time.
