IIRC, this was done in order to allow people to do wierd and wonderful
things. For instance, you could supposedly run the mountd daemon on
one machine, and nfsd on another. We actually have support for this in
the client by way of the option "mounthost=" in the standard mount
program.
I've never heard of anybody actually using that particular feature
though.
Cheers,
