OK, my NFS internals expertise is on another BSD derivative, but...

If you haven't already done so, I suggest you test with all your clients
mounting from the server using NFS version 2 rather than 3.  Note the
Solaris clients probably try V3 first and fallback to V2 so you might be
able to disable V3 on your server somehow, saving the admin hassle of
changing a large number of clients.  Of course if you're using an
automounter you already have a central point for the change.
