Subject: NFS Server timing out

I have a 2.2.6-RELEASE machine set up to be a NFS Server.  I have several
IRIX machines set up as NFS clients to this machine.  I'm getting the
following strange behavior:

% mount scooby:/RAID/share /usr/share
% df
<other file systems>
scooby:/RAID/share	nfs	<numbers numbers numbers> /usr/share
% mount scooby:/RAID/FLT /usr/FLT
mount: scooby:/RAID/FLT server not responding:  Timed out
NFS version 3 mount failed, trying NFS version 2
mount: giving up on:
   /usr/FLT

Now, what makes this strange is that the first one works, and the second
one doesn't.  However, if I wait, say, a minute or two, the second mount
works!  I can ping the NFS server all the while.  The second mount looks
like:

% mount scooby:/RAID/FLT /usr/FLT
% df
<other file systems>
scooby:/RAID/share	nfs    <numbers numbers numbers>  /usr/share
scooby:/RAID/FLT	nfs   <numbers numbers numbers>  /usr/FLT

What?  Why is this?  An obvious consequence of this problem is that
permanently mounted file systems (i.e. in /etc/fstab) won't mount at boot
time.  Users complain when /usr/share is missing ;)

Following is the /etc/exports entry on the FreeBSD NFS server:

/RAID -alldirs -maproot=0 -network 192.168.1.0 -mask 255.255.255.0

Any ideas?

Thanks,
