Hm, I managed to get NFS mounts running with merely the loopback interface configured - no manually added routes, no changes in /etc/networks. The only problem which I still have remaining is that sometimes I get "permission denied" errors when accessing files in NFS mounted filesystems (on the client machine) - this even occurs when I'm logged in as root.
