We have a sun netra running 4.1.4 exporting things to BSDI 1.1. On the
client, BSDI, system we are seeing errors of this type:

nfs server bunyip:/virtual/www/alp: is alive again
nfs server bunyip:/virtual/www/alp: not responding
nfs server bunyip:/virtual/www/alp: is alive again
nfs server bunyip:/virtual/www/alp: not responding
nfs server bunyip:/virtual/www/alp: is alive again
nfs server bunyip:/virtual/www/alp: not responding
nfs server bunyip:/virtual/www/alp: is alive again
nfs server bunyip:/virtual/www/alp: not responding

nfs server bunyip:/virtual/www/alp: is alive again
nfs server bunyip:/virtual/www/alp: not responding
nfs server bunyip:/virtual/www/alp: is alive again
nfs server bunyip:/virtual/www/alp: not responding
nfs server bunyip:/virtual/www/alp: is alive again
nfs server bunyip:/virtual/www/alp: not responding
nfs server bunyip:/virtual/www/alp: is alive again
nfs server bunyip:/virtual/www/alp: not responding
nfs server bunyip:/virtual/www/alp: is alive again
etc etc.

Does this look familiar to anyone? 

The two machines are in the same subnet and on the same segment. Neither
system is heavily loaded. 

I've had it suggested to me that the timeout could be increased, but this
should not be necessary.
