This sounds like we are on the right track. I verified via netstat that all ports from 600-1023 are being used for NFS after I run my test script. I can not change lowfirst to any higher amount. I did change lowlast from 600 to 1 and now I can mount more than 1000 NFS mounts. This is great but what kind of side effects am I introducing by making this change? -- Eric L.
