:Thanks for your reply.  My problem, however, is that the NFS servers I'm
:dealing with run a plethora of OSs.  Believe you me, I'd love to run FreeBSD
:on all of 'em, but that is simply out of my control.  The '-h' option for
:nfsd that was introduced v4.0 would be a great fix for this.  What I really
:need is a means to make the FreeBSD client not be so picky about where the
:return packets are coming from.  I've since learned that this is a
:long-standing issue with FreeBSD:

:Thanks,

    Making the client accept packets from different IP's then they were
    sent to is not really in the cards.  If the servers are replying using
    the wrong IP, it's a bug in the servers.  You might be able to work
    around it by having the client connect to the server's other IP.

    What about using TCP mounts?
