Subject:   mountd, failover & stale filehandles

I have two servers running FreeBSD 4.5 that have identical content
in the /export directories.  The /export directories are locally
mounted ffs.  I'm attempting to have one server act as failover
incase the other server goes away.  The problem is that mountd
generates different filehandles for the two /export directories,
and as such the failover does not automatically occur.

Is there any way to tell mount_nfs to give up on the old filehandle
and get a new one through mountd?  Or to get the two mountds to
generate the same filehandle information every time?
