I asked this a few weeks ago, but got no response.

What is the suggest settings to NFS mount drives between FreeBSD 
machines? I'd like the machines to *not* hang should the other go down 
also! And when the downed machine comes back that everything comes back 
gracefully...

Here's what I used now:

web1.calweb.com:/u1		 /u1	nfs	rw,soft,intr,bg 0 0
web2.calweb.com:/u2		/u2	nfs	rw,soft,intr,bg 0 0
web2.calweb.com:/ftp		/ftp	nfs	rw,soft,intr,bg 0 0
web2.calweb.com:/misc		/misc	nfs	rw,soft,intr,bg 0 0
