I applied this patch to nfs-utils-1.2.6, it fixed the current issue. My /etc/exports looks like this: /media/fs1/ 10.158.0.0/16(rw,root_squash,no_subtree_check) /media/fs1/ 10.158.192.71(rw,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check) /media/fs1/ 10.158.192.72(rw,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check) /media/fs1/ 10.158.192.73(rw,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check) /media/fs1/ 10.158.192.74(rw,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check) And I also captured dns lookup traffic by command "tcpdump -i eth0 -vvv host dns_server" during the following procedure: #exportfs -ua #exportfs -a on the server, and the nfs mount procedure on the client. There's none dns lookup related traffic, neither before the patch, nor after it. Thanks to all of you, for helping me fix this issue, and the time you spent on reviewing the code. B.R.
