Yes. Just not quite as much as I would have liked.
Basically the issue seems to be resolved in Lenny. but the behavior is
slightly differnt to Etch.
Test setup here is machine with dual NICs. Debian Lenny installed and up
to date. DNS and NetApp NAS on 'backend' network (eth1). Primary
interface on eth0
Looking at the startup logs I see:
...
Setting up networking....
Configuring network interfaces...eth0: setting full-duplex.
Starting portmap daemon....
Starting NFS common utilities: statd.
mount.nfs: can't get address for nas.backend.xxxx.xxx
NET: Registered protocol family 10
lo: Disabled Privacy Extensions
eth1: link up, 100Mbps, full-duplex, lpa 0x41E1
Starting portmap daemon...Already running.
Starting NFS common utilities: statd.
done.
Starting portmap daemon...Already running.
Starting NFS common utilities: statd
Setting console screen modes and fonts.
...
So although the mount fails after eth0 is configured, it does try again
and succesfully mount after second interface is brought up. Although
there is a delay with mount.nfs failing.
Test 2. Same dual NIC setup but with DNS reachable on eth0 and NAS
address in /etc/fstab specified by IP.
...
Setting up networking....
Configuring network interfaces...eth0: setting full-duplex.
Starting portmap daemon....
Starting NFS common utilities: statd.

And again, the NAS is mounted after the second interface is brough up,
but it takes a couple of minutes for the mount.nfs retry/fail to
complete and continue with bringing the second interface up. This is not
ideal in a production environment where we want the servers to reboot in
a reasonable time. NFS mount options include fg and hard options as we
need the NAS mounted before other services are brought up.

I'll test with etch,lenny and sid and provide more information
Great, thanks.
Any progress on this?
