Ok, after learning more about Solaris than I ever cared, I stumbled
over the following in the mountd(1M) man page on Solaris 2.5.1:

NOTES
     Some routines  that  compare  hostnames  use  case-sensitive
     string  comparisons;  some  do  not.  If an incoming request
     fails, verify that the case of the hostname in the  file  to
     be  parsed  matches the case of the hostname called for, and
     attempt the request again.

After adding ghpc6.ihf.rwth-aachen.de (as it's returned from DNS)
everything works fine.
