The easiest thing is to set up a separate subnet for server nic 2 and  
client nic 2, perhaps as an alias on the existing one.  Use a private  
netblock like 192.168.n to separate them out.

I do this.  I have a single nic in the client (but I have multiple  
clients) and the nfs server has 4 nics.  nic 1 is 192.168.1.x and nic  
2 is 192.168.2.x and nic 3 is 192.168.3.x and nic 4 is 192.168.4.x .

I am actually running one of my clients with 1 nic with aliased  
addresses talking to 2 separate nics on the server, mainly for  
testing purposes to separate different share while I did some packet  
sniffing to solve an unrelated problems.
