If the hosts have different sets of binaries installed so that
completion differs between the two, you're losing your caching as each
host keeps blowing away the other's cache.

I use this, both for NFS environment and non-NFS where I tend to play
with different versions of zsh:

if is-at-least 4.2.0; then autoload -Uz compinit ; else autoload -U compinit ; fi
[[ -d "${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}/.zcompdumps" ]] || mkdir -m 0700 -p "${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}/.zcompdumps"
compinit -u -d "${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}/.zcompdumps/${HOST%%.*}-$ZSH_VERSION"

I've autoloaded is-at-least before this.

Regards,
-Phil
