    Just a "little quick question": the NFS clients have a means to specify
    several NFS servers as equivalents (described in "man mount_nfs")...
    I am not sure if this is what the OP is trying to do, and if not -
    whether this would help him? And if the VMWare NFS client has similar
    means to failover between servers - with explicitly different server IPs
    (i.e. one serves the share, then unshares it, replicates to another, and
    another one shares the master data)?
