I am using RedHat 7.1 stock kernel. The NFS is pretty stable. With the exception of the roaming users. With the amount of concurrency that I run the file has a hard time being updated and if the file can't be updated the POP session crashes. Not a problem with vpopmail or NFS. So my next step is to use the patched version of tcpserver to pull the relays from a database.
Now also as a point my NFS is running on a private network. So each box uses 2 interfaces one for NFS stuff alone and the other to handle all the service requests. This is completly by design becuase all of the software runs off of the NFS mount. The only thing that is local to the individual servers is a stripped base RedHat installation and qmail's queue directory.
