Re-reading your e-mail, I'm not sure this will help me.   The problem
I'm having is that the server sends responses from a different IP
address than I attempted to mount.  Your description there seems to be
talking about selecting a local IP address to do the mounting with
instead.

For what it's worth, nfs-utils 1.1.2 was the version that successfully
mounts while 1.2.5 is the one I'm currently struggling with.
