Having noticed your iptables bug report (bugzilla #90064), what
makes you think iptables is to blame? Can you give some details with
regard to your routing table (netstat -nr) and NIC config (ifconfig
- -a) for both server and a test-client and your attempts on debugging
whether iptables or ipchains (on the clients) is the cause of it?
For instance, on the NFS server, if you add a log rule right after
the "trust eth0" rule,

  -A RH-Lokkit-0-50-INPUT -i eth0 -j ACCEPT
  -A RH-Lokkit-0-50-INPUT -i eth0 -j LOG --log-level alert

do you see anything in the logs upon booting an NFS client?
Or what makes you assume iptables blocks anything from eth0?

Since you refer to "server" and "client servers", what server is
referred to here?

it = client?
