There is a compile-time variable; you will need to hack a source file
in /sys/nfs... it's a one-line change to toggle caching.  I think that
recent kernels let you poke it with sysctl as a debug variable, if you
have those enabled.

You may want to turn *on* leases on your next build as well, since it
reflects on cache coherency.

Unfortunately, I can't rebuild your testbed easily...
