I'm having a problem NFS mounting disks where the server is a FreeBSD (2.1.5) machine with several virtual interfaces and the client is an OpenBSD 2.0 machine. The freebsd machine has two web servers in two domains (www.homeport.org, www.chips4less.com). Having looked at a lot of tcpdumps, I believe that the problem is that when Openbsd is trying to mount from machine A, it is unwilling to accept NFS packets from machine B. Is there a way to force Freebsd to respond on the interface to which a packet was addressed? I've examined the release notes for versions between 2.1.5 and the current -RELEASE, and didn't see anything that seemed applicable. (I'm considering moving the machine to 2.2.1, to get the NFS 3 code, and see if that works any better, but don't want to move without knowing that it will/is likely to fix the problem.)
