Currently leases are only kept locally, so there's no way for a distributed
filesystem to enforce them against multiple clients.  We're particularly
interested in the case of nfsd exporting a cluster filesystem, in which
case nfsd needs cluster-coherent leases in order to implement delegations
correctly.

A couple of naive questions --

Do the semantics of these leases really match the requirements from NFSv4?
Does the internal NFSv4 server state also need to be shared?

   Thanx...
