I may have left out a key piece of info:

I am not using a ipfw.rules sh script. I am using Webmin, which loads the 
ipfw.rules in the rc.local file. I don't know alot about the order of 
operations as far as the rc files go, but assume the rc.local is of the last 
ones to run, likely after mounts normally take place.

Are there any background or timeout switches that can be used on nfs mounts 
in the fstab?
