I'd say this is a red-herring.  ESXi 5.5 will only use NFSv3.  However, DNS
resolution is critical for ESXi NFS mounts even when mounting via IP
address.

I always put host entries in /etc/hosts on each ESXi host for all other
hosts, vCenter and NFS servers.   The same on the NFS server side.  I
learned this years ago on a 3 AM call to VMware support. :)
