Can you provide the output of nfsstat -c 1 on the web servers (and nfsstat -s 1 on the nfs server if they are running FreeBSD)? Run them for a minute when you are getting bad performance.
Please also quantify "moderately high traffic". What is this in Mbit/s? Also, it may be helpful to know a little bit about your network infrastructure, i.e. are the switch ports set to full duplex and the machines to match. NFS performance is very dependent on a fast reliable network. Don't consider anything less than 100Mbit/s full duplex. Also what platform is the NFS server? We recently migrated from a cluster pair of NetApps to a single NFS server running FreeBSD. This is mounted by four NFS clients running Zeus. We have a lot of NFS experience and we felt confident this would work. It did and with the most marginal degradation in performance.
