Thanks Bill, but as I said mounting it manually works fine so I doubt it's fstab.

<manually mounting works>
mount NFSD:/home2 /home

This isn't what I told you to do. This does not access your /etc/fstab at all and therefore doesn't accomplish what I was trying to help you determine. Do _this_: mount /home

With no second parameter, mount will look through /etc/fstab for a mountpoint
that matches /home and use the config in that line if it finds one.  This
tests your /etc/fstab
I don't believe that 'mount NFSD:/home2 /home' forces mount to access the
/etc/fstab file.

So that also pretty much clears NFSD too /etc/exports works as evidenced
in showmounts -e <host> and that I can manually mount it from HTTPD. I
also serve homes via Samba on NFSD, that wouldn't interfere with NFS,
would it?

Again, since it's buried, here are my exports and fstab.

on NFSD:
/home2           -maproot=0 -alldirs     httpd

on HTTPD:
NFSD:/home2              /home           nfs     rw,bg           0       0

Since it mounts manually but not automatically on reboot, I'm still stuck.
