One other related question.

When I setup my nfs-server that re-exports shares and enter my network 
password to get it going, will I need to restart the nfs daemons every 
few months when I am required to change my password? Or will the nfs 
daemons (services) keep going without requiring me to give them my new 
password? Even after a reboot?

If I have to re-enter the password (actually you have to enter it 4 
times, twice for mountd and twice for nfsd) it might be easier and less 
hassle just to mirror the shares on my local nfs-server machine and just 
export the mirrored directory and rsync the mirror dir to the network 
share periodically using cron. I would probably have better performance too.
