Isn't this already an issue? I could've sworn that when I was looking through the NFS export code, there was something that allowed re-exporting remote shares. Something to do with allowing diskless clients to share part of their filesystem. But going back through the code, I can't find it, and it sounds very similar to the non-existent feature Roland was talking about, so maybe I'm missing something. -Russ
