Replaning my storage setup

So I'll be building a file server, which I plan to treat like a SAN, and any future storage I add will be treated the same way, basically it will be on it's own separate physical network, and any server that uses data off it will access it via dedicated NIC. Shares will be NFS, maybe some ISCSI but I'm leaning towards NFS.

For stuff like a workstation, I don't want to have dual nic and treat it like a server but rather have it access a share off a server that is then accessing it off the SAN. Is this a bad idea as far as performance or perhaps just bad practice? How would you do it?

Or am I better just treating it like a NAS and making it part of the same network?
