Re-exporting an NFS mount

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Greetings,

I am curious what would be the best way to re-export an NFS mount. I
have a machine running RedHat 7.3 that is acting as a router between a
private lan and a public Internet connection. I am trying to mount a
directory that has been mounted to the server from one of the private
machines to a machine not in the private network.

Is there a relatively easy way to accomplish this?

Thanks,

Jeff

AFAIK this should not work.

The snag is, I've done it.
/bigdisk exported by a solaris box as "disk" (see /etc/dfs/dfstab)
disk mounted on a mandrake 8 box on /disk1
/disk1/data exported by mandrake box as "data" (see /etc/export)
data mounted on a suse box as /mnt/data

It all worked fine.

you need to make sure that there is an nfsd available on both
interfaces, IIRC. I think that made my brain hurt at the time.

Another solution would be to use samba, and export the subtree with
that, for mounting using smbfs on the public side. That works too.
Done that heaps.
