Just a "little quick question": the NFS clients have a means to specify
several NFS servers as equivalents (described in "man mount_nfs")...
I am not sure if this is what the OP is trying to do, and if not -
whether this would help him? And if the VMWare NFS client has similar
means to failover between servers - with explicitly different server IPs
(i.e. one serves the share, then unshares it, replicates to another, and
another one shares the master data)?
