Now, wait - shouldn't this break single NIC servers also?
When I set up nfsd to only use one nic, it works fine.  It's only with 
two NICs that I have the problem.

Also, if I kill the nfsd master process, and leave the children run (the 
master is always the one that gets the load jacked up eating up 100% of 
that cpu), the machine continues to serve nfs requests, just not to the 
machine that pisses it off - but the other processes don't go haywire.
