It does for numerous things -- any service that does a reverse lookup or 'gethostname' etc. such as tcpwrappers or tcpserver. Of course, I'm ignorant of what would be causing the ping behavior. Still, make sure you have the hosts in /etc/hosts, even if it's 10.0.0.1 10-0-0-1 10.0.0.2 10-0-0-2 etc. Also, does the nfs server support both TCP and UDP? Try each separately.
