  boa is a lean+mean+fast webserver.  See http://www.boa.org for details.

  It has to be accessed by all machines that want to nfs-mount on the
server, so they can ask it what port nfs is running on.  Restrict access
to only the clients that need to nfs-mount on the server.  The usual
method is iptables.  For "defense in depth", you can also use inet.d and
hosts.allow/hosts.deny.

  I'm not an nfs expert.  Is it possible to force nfs to a specific port
on both the client and server such that they'll talk without handshaking
via portmapper first?
