On Solaris, for example, you can provide two identical, read-only, copies
of your critical filesystem, and mount them with
mount -o ro serv1,serv2:/export/critical /critical
and if serv1 goes offline, then the client NFS will roll-over to serv2.
Quite rightly this is a feature of mount; you can use the automounter
to invoke mount but you are not restricted to doing so, you might want to
do a permanent NFS mount.
