I must say that I'm surprised that an FC2 NFS failure isn't getting much play 
on this list. For me, reliable NFS is a absolute requirement. I can 
understand that a "typical" single-box user could care less, but surely some 
folks out there must depend on reliable networking.

Are any folks on this list using FC2 and NFS successfully?
