Hardie board on pier and beam house?

Is anyone familiar with Hardie board cement fiber siding and can you tell me if there are any restrictions or drawbacks to installing this product on a pier and beam house? Pier and beam inherently has some settle/give – where as regular vinyl siding has some flexibility/give that would allow it to move with the house, Hardie board has no flexibility and I want to know if this is going to have any kind of adverse effect when installed on a pier and beam house.
