From: Eric Anderson To: freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org, peter.jeremy@alcatel.com.au Cc: Subject: Re: kern/22594: NFS can't handle asymmetric server routing Date: Tue, 11 Mar 2003 16:48:51 -0600 This fix works for the NFS server side, but from the client side, there is no way (that I know of) that allows you to allow this behavior. In other words, if I have a Solaris NFS server (that incorrectly responds on a different interface with the wrong source address), my FreeBSD NFS client hangs. I have submitted a PR for this long ago, and was told "too bad - they didn't follow the specs", but the reality is that the FreeBSD mount command (and amd for that matter) should have a bypass to say "I don't care if it comes back from a different source address, take it anyway" - so it will work. I know it is a security risk, but I should be able to enable that if I'd like. This PR should be re-opened.
