At this point I've only made provision for  tcp, and am now thinking that I
was trying to do what's not supposed to be done - nfs is probably designed
to be used over one network and not intended to be bridged to another.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I think it's just  a service that should remain
on a single network and one should not try to poke wholes enough to cram
through into another.
