No - just the standard NFS (I assume you mean the 'NFS Server Support'
frome the network filesystems config).

This machine runs as an NFS server, and client.

I have tried tuning the kernel memory settings through /proc -- but little
success at this stage.  The buffer allocation just keeps increasing at a
steady pace, 4Kb at a time.

Cheers
Jason.
