Thanx Jeff, this is probably a good idea. But, I'm just thinking, how about
allowing the end users access to their exports from the internet?

We have a lot of virtual private server (VPS) clients, and I'm thinking that
it could be beneficial for the clients to access their NFS exports directly,
for whatever purpose?  Or would this pose a serious security problem?
