No, it will fail immediately (as seen above) if it can't resolve the
server name. The only way to fix this is to modify mount_nfs to
sleep and retry in such cases. The *current* sleep-and-retry code
is in the NFS mount code in the kernel, which doesn't come into play
until after DNS lookup.
In that case, there's a bug in the mount_nfs man page, which just says
that it keeps retrying until it succeeds. PR #110062
Given that it sounds like a potential workaround is to use the machines
IP instead of name until this is fixed, thanks for the info guys.
