How would you expect this to work?  The local bind only happens when 
local and destination address are the same, therefore keeping anything 
from going across the network no matter how you slice it.

Changing the DNS name of the NFS server has no effect, since once the 
mount has happened the name was already resolved, and it can't be 
redirected.

Changing the IP address runs into the problem that local == remote.
