Sorry - I don't think there's an easy answer to this but someone who 
knows more about nfsd may be along soon.

However, if no better idea turns up you could try using dtrace to 
monitor the underlying calls (or hack nfsd?). I have thought about doing 
this myself, but it is only available in new FreeBSD releases and the 
DTrace user guide (from Sun) is 60 pages long and gives me a headache. I 
know Linux people do something similar using SystemTap.

Is the attribute caching on the client set correctly? Or even working (bug?)

BTW, what you're seeing isn't unusual.

Regards, Frank.
