We have a similar setup with millions of UIDs over NFS (currently NFSv3). I _wish_ there were a way to use NFSv4 without having to use name-mapped UIDs and GIDs, since our user and group names come from MySQL anyway, and are guaranteed to be consistent across machines. Why on earth does NFSv4 force the use of names? I was considering hacking the code to stick IDs in there anyway, but I haven't looked at the feasibility of this. I suspect this would break or complicate other things, but the current NFSv4 design just seems like an incredible waste for this case.
