If you have the appropriate dns/host record's you should be able to make this happen. server01.domain.com 1.1.1.1/24 server01-eth1.domaincom 1.1.2.1/24 client.domain.com 1.1.1.2/24 client-eth1.domain.com 1.1.1.2/24 On client.domain.com mount server01-eth1.domain.com/exports /imports Common mistake most people tend to do is over look impact of the routing involved. If the client does not share a broadcast domain with the server, you are just going to create a heap of ____. Provide some details about your network topology with client and server shown for a better response. Regards, Ted
