I'm trying to design a diskless cluster of clients that boot off 2
"master" servers.  I want one master server to take over all NFS
responsibilities when the other master server is down.

The real problem is that the root NFS mount points on the
clients do not fail over gracefully.  They still have the old
filehandle from the master server that is down and are stubborn to let
it go and try contacting portmap again.  Is there something simple
I'm missing, like a timeout option?
