>Description:
When the system is configured as an NFS server, it seems to cause problems
with IP addressed which are aliased to a network card.

The kernel is built with NFSSERVER defined, /etc/default/rc.conf is
configured with rpcbind, nfs_server, lockd and statd. Once rebooted
the system was unable to ping its own aliased IP address. I turned
off all the options and rebooted then ran each one manually. I was
then able to being the local and remote IP addresses. I mounted a
filesystem on a remote machine and started using it. After a while
rpc stopped responding. I was again unable to ping the IP addresses.
Killing the lockd and statd seemed to fix it, so I'm guessing there
is a bug in one of these. However I started getting a problem when
pinging a remote machine

ping 192.168.1.2 would give me
ping: sendto: no buffer space

If I did ifconfig down de0 then ifconfig up de0 then I was able to
ping as normal. I'm pretty much convinced either lockd or statd is
the culprit.
>How-To-Repeat:
Configure the system as above with an alias IP address.
