:The one problem standing in the way of my being able to implement this
:solution is a very specific problem with mounting NFS exports from
:multi-homed servers on our network. We have this problem both from the
:FreeBSD box itself and from the "NAT'ed" clients on the 10.x.x.x networks it
:serves.
There are two solutions to this problem, both involving fixing the
NFS server.
The problem is that the FreeBSD NFS server would respond to UDP NFS
packets using a different source IP then they were sent to.
The solution is to either use TCP NFS mounts, or to use the -h option
to nfsd (see 'man nfsd') to force nfsd to bind to and respond
to UDP packets using the same interface IP.
'man nfsd' should give you enough information to fix this on your
NFS server. You should not have to mess with the clients at all.
I'm pretty sure I backported this feature to 3.x.
-Matt
