RFC2054, RFC2055, RFC2755 (not implemented by FreeBSD).

Abstract, RFC2054:

   This document describes a lightweight binding mechanism that allows
   NFS clients to obtain service from WebNFS-enabled servers with a
   minimum of protocol overhead.  In removing this overhead, WebNFS
   clients see benefits in faster response to requests, easy transit of
   packet filter firewalls and TCP-based proxies, and better server
   scalability.

...basically: mount-less NFS server by IP address, one per IP address.
