=09I've run into this before, and the problem is that the mount daemon is=
trying=20
to reverse and forward resolve that IP address. If you dumped the client =
and=20
server either in a DNS server or in the /etc/hosts file you should see an=

instanteanous mount.
=09To everyone else: Is there a way of turing this off in the mount daemo=
n? I=20
would like to have my auto-install scripts get to NFS without having to a=
dd=20
DNS entries first.
