I've been using OpenWRT for about a year or so now and I've never been happier
with it. 

There's already packages to support NFS.

nfs-kernel-server	Kernel NFS server support
nfs-kernel-server-utils	NFS server utils
nfs-utils		Updated mount.nfs command - allows mounting nfs4 volumes
nfs-utils-libs		Libraries provided by nfs-utils
kmod-fs-nfs		Kernel module for NFS client support
kmod-fs-nfs-common	Common NFS filesystem modules
kmod-fs-nfs-common-rpcsec	Kernel modules for NFS Secure RPC
kmod-fs-nfs-v3		Kernel module for NFS v3 client support
kmod-fs-nfs-v4		Kernel module for NFS v4 support
kmod-fs-nfsd		Kernel module for NFS kernel server support

and those for haproxy too

haproxy			Open source Reliable, High Performance TCP/HTTP Load Balancer.


There's hundreds of packages for OpenWRT so I was able to offload jobs my
linux box was doing. It can update dynamic DNS automatically (I run my own DNS
server) it was a breeze to setup. I also setup my ipv6 in ipv4 tunnel to HE so
I no longer have to keep my linux box up to maintain ipv6 connectivity.

It also does a bunch of other stuff for me. Try it, I think you'll be happy
with it.
