I haven't used armory in a while now, so anything i say here can be wrong/outdated, but since nobody else seems to be answering you, i'll give it a shot.

IF i'm not mistaking, armory isn't using bitcoind's interface directly, it's merely using it's data files. So, i don't think there is a way to connect armory to a remote running bitcoin node directly.

It *might* be possible to export bitcoind's data folder as an nfs mount on one machine, and mount it on a second one... I haven't tried this, so i don't know if it would work.

Since promoting privacy has become suspicious for some governements... I'll just promote something that'll keep your funds safer than an online wallet (or a desktop wallet). This is not a privacy tool, but a tool to "be your own bank" in a safer way.
I use a =>Ledger<= to keep my (limited) funds as secure as possible... If you still keep your coins on an online exchange, it might be a good idear to look into them (or other hardware wallet vendors). By the way: not everybody likes ledger (but i do), DYOR!

Not possible atm, ArmoryDB needs local access to the blockchain files. ArmoryQt does not however, i.e. the db has to live on the same OS as the node, but the clients can access it remotely. There's a plan to allow the db to connect to the node only over a p2p socket. Not a priority atm though.

Won't work, can't mmap files on network drives.
