I was thinking that might be the simplest way to get mountd to put an
entry back into mountdtab.

I don't know.  :)  Like I said, my knowledge of NFS is pretty weak.  I
was under the impression that there's some procedure that the client
and server go through to re-establish a mount after a server
crash/reboot.  Wasn't there a security bug related to this some time
ago?
