WebNFS is pretty trivial; it just means "interpret the handle 0 as an unauthenticated connection to the WebNFS root". WebNFS is not terribly useful for more than one exported volume, unfortunately; it's a hack. That's why CIFS endangers it. As a hack on a hack, you can seperate services by IP alias to get multiple volumes. This is not terribly satisfactory. The alternative is to unify the NFS namespace, which is not trivial.
