Quorum on NAS

In a two node SQL server cluster, with each computer in
the cluster storing the database on its local hard drive,
is it OK to have the quorum drive on a NAS/network server.
So the database will be direct attached on one server. The
database will be replicated to another computer with a
direct attached disk. But the Quorum drive that they share
will be a drive on the network.
Is that good practice?
Thanks,
Todd
NAS is not supported in a cluster.
