At Spectra, we are successfully using the NFSE patch set from 
nfse.sourceforge.net (FreeBSD PR 136865).  It addresses
the ESTALE problem in addition to cleaning up several aspects
of exports processing.

Have you reviewed the NFSE work?  Do you have any issues
or concerns with it?  What is the right path for getting NFSE
integrated into FreeBSD?
