The experimental NFS server (NFSD) handles NFSv2 and NFSv3 as well as
NFSv4, so it should be usable for this. I've also pointed Gil to the
patch at:
   http://people.freebsd.org/~rmacklem/freebsd8.1-patches/replay.patch
which I believe might fix his problem w.r.t. the regular server.
(pjd@ has a nicer one, but they both fix the same problem)
