Actually, you can turn on Home Sharing and then anyone can share it within your home network regardless of where the music is stored.

You can, of course, host the music from one HDD on your network (i.e. both computers point to that library within iTunes) BUT if one person changed songs or files it might screw things up for the others sharing the same folder.

Home sharing is the way to go with one computer maintaining the library I would say. Others may have other suggestions?

your itunes library will not automatically adjust to songs/movies being added, it also wont have a clue where the song/movie is if its moved on the drive from the time it was added to the libary
