I observe a serious problem with NFS exports from a Mac OS X 10.4 server to

We use the StorNext distributed file system in which FreeBSD cannot
participate straightly (sorry to say). But OS X can do using the XSAN
software from Apple, so we integrated the OS X server into the StorNext
environment.
We want OS X to NFS export the filesystems to FreeBSD clients, which by
itself for example act as SMB servers using Samba 3.0.x.
You really don't want to export a filesystem which itself is being mounted
remotely. If you want to provide SMB filesharing for these files, run Samba
on the OS X machine(s) directly.
Knowing all the drawbacks including reduced bandwith, there are some
important organizational reasons, thus I want to do so. Moreover, Samba
ist just one application on the NFS clients, although an important one.
