NFS on NFS?

Here's what I'd like to do:

- Mount NFS export from filer 'A'
- Export that mountpoint to clients via NFS

I've already tried it, and it doesn't quite work.  FreeBSD allows me to 
export it (doing tricks like null mounting the NFS mounted directory on 
a different directory, etc).  But when a client mounts it, it has issues.

Does anyone know if this is a reasonable problem to solve for FreeBSD, 
or is it so much work that it isn't worth it?

Oh, and please - I understand the implications of doing such a thing, no 
worries, I still want to.

Eric
