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.
