 Have you removed the old /etc/hosts entries?
 
 If they stay and have shorthand aliases like
 
 X.X.X.X machine.network.somewhere machine
 
 mount will fail with a forward/reverse mismatch

Huh. I'm getting no permission to mount UNLESS I have the above
X.X.X.X machine.internal.net machine
line for the NFS client on the server. It doesn't seem to matter how the
client is configured in terms of name service. And the IP address appears
in the system logs too.

 
 Either remove the shorthand aliases (i.e. machine) and make sure hosts and dns
 match or remove all irrelevant /etc/hosts entires and rely on DNS only.

Ooookay. I get home from work today, poke at NFS, and it lets me mount my
exports. I changed nothing from this morning, when it wasn't working at
all.

/etc/hosts in the server only lists localhost and the server's IP and
hostname. The client lists localhost, the client, and the server.

I guess it's just one of those things, like when I had to reboot my
gateway after installing ipmasq before it would masq and not return
`sendto' errors. ARGH!

Thanks for the help anyway, guys. *takes a baseball bat to the cluster*
