BTW, is there a feature, like Solaris client side NFS failover planned 
or in the works?

See:
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/816-4555/6maoquib7?a=view#rfsrefer-51
and
http://cvs.opensolaris.org/source/search?q=failover&path=%2Fon%2Fusr%2Fsrc%2Futs%2Fcommon%2Ffs%2Fnfs
http://cvs.opensolaris.org/source/xref/on/usr/src/uts/common/fs/nfs/nfs_subr.c

I don't want to use more than one IP on the client side, because I'm 
serving from a virtual IP (but it's possible to have two virtual IPs 
with the same machines :), but it's perfectly OK if the client would do 
a remap in the case of a stale handle, or anything else, this failover 
stuff does.

Thanks,
