NFS is not going to be happy about exporting a nfs mounted file system
-- actually it just won't do it. If some machine foo mounts
babasse:/home as /nfs/babasse/home, /nfs/babasse/home/kikinovak/Sites
will be an empty directory. Machine foo would have to mount
grossebertha:/var/www/html on its own.
