Subject:   When an NFS server croaks... amd?

Am using the above line in /etc/fstab to mount an NFS filesystem. At the
moment the remote system has lost its mind. What is the best way to make my
FreeBSD system forget about this mount? "umount -f /disk9" blocks until
something times out. I could comment it out of /etc/fstab and reboot but
that's not sporting.

What can I do better to prevent this from happening in the future? Amd(8)
shows promise but having amd(8) fake an NFS mount for an NFS mount seems
convoluted. Is this the right path to take?
