Subject: mountd not registering with portmap on FreeBSD 2.1 multi-homed web server

We have a FreeBSD machine as our multihomed web server with about 300
aliased IP addresses.  All of a sudden, we can't NFS mount things from
it.  Portmap is running, and rpcinfo -p shows its own service, but that's
it.  Mountd cannot register, and says so through syslog.  I have stopped
and started portmap and mountd several times, and we have rebooted
three times (which we really hate to do because this is a production
machine).  I ran portmap -v -d and learned nothing.  It spat out messages
when rpcinfo queried it, but not when mountd was trying to connect.

HELP???
