>Organization:
B.E.T.A.
>Environment:

	Standard load of FreeBSD 2.2-960801-SNAP

>Description:
When having a single client mount more NFS directories
from a server than the server has nfsd processes running, the nfs servers
stop responding to the client session until the processes are killed, or
the system is restarted. Increasing the number of NFS servers to greater
than the number of mounts seems to "fix" the problem. 


>How-To-Repeat:

	Run a small number (4) nfs servers, and attach > 4 mounts
from a single client

>Fix:
	Load up more nfsd processes (tho this is a bad fix for large
	servers.
