This may or may not be related...

I've noticed that NetBSD/pmax 1.1 doesn't like mounting NFS from
machines that are not on the local network (i.e. through a router).

To others on the net: is this a NQNFS "feature", or a problem with
NetBSD/pmax?  I'm mounting from an AIX 3.2 machine.

I can reproduce the problem by using "gw:/export/engg" as the mount
device.  The problem goes away if I use "gw-gate2:/export/engg".

My machines are on:

136.159.113.xxx, a class-C subnet.

gw resolves to 136.159.1.112
gw-gate2 resolves to 136.159.113.1, and is the default route.

So, somehow, the NFS code doesn't like going through a router, even if
the machine itself physically lives on the same subnet.

I hope this helps you a bit...
