Monitoring Shared Storage

I've got a scenario that I'd imagine many of you have already dealt 
with, so before I roll my own solution I figured I'd ask y'all what 
you've done.

I have roughly 50 servers or so that mount their home directories (as 
well as a few other things, but let's talk about /home for simplicity) 
from an NFS server (isilon at the moment, shortly to become a NetApp).

Because space is expensive, periodically central storage fills up.  This 
results in /home sending out notifications from all 50 servers. 

Is there a good way to set things up so that if central storage fills up 
I don't get paged by every system we've got?  I don't want to give up 
monitoring /home on these hosts since our configuration monkey has 
screwed up before and NOT mounted the NFS share, leading to the 
mountpoint on local disk filling up instead.

Thanks-- my apologies if this wasn't clear.
