Both the client and the server are running FreeBSD 2.1.6. The server
has more than one interface (semi-obviously).

I tried this hack, and it works. It should not be necessary, unless of
course there's a good reason for it. It makes the automount maps look
really nasty - you have to put 'wire==' selectors all over the place.

There are other servers that the client can't reach or talk to that
aren't FreeBSD, and I see a similar ICMP port unreachable message.
