I recall seeing a place use multiple NFS servers for the same mount point. That is, if NFS-1 is not available, then use NFS-2. However, I wasn't involved in the setup and am not sure if they were using Virtual IPs or if mount can actually have an "servera or serverb" option.<br>

What's the current best practice for setting up a shared filesystem with reliability, failover, and good replication? If distro matters, this is more towards Ubuntu.<br>
