I actually don't know. You could try it and tell us what you find
out....
If you're exporting something *containing* the symlink and expecting the
client to traverse into the filesystem, be aware that symlinks over NFS
are actually interpreted (and followed) on the client--so they're
interpreted as *client-side* paths, not server-side.
If the path you're exporting is itself a symlink--it probably depends on
how nfs-utils treats symlinks found in /etc/exports. I'd have to try it
or check the code.
Another way to export the filesystem in two different places would be
with mount --bind.
--b.
