Re: Is this possible using NFS ?

Roger,

I think the answer to this question is going to be "no" unless you
have only one client.  There is an export option that might do what
you want, it just may not work very well.  Read about the nohide
option in the exports(5) man page.  You can try out that export option
and see if it works for you.  I tend to avoid it, though.
