I had a look at the code which mounts these and it looks like if you adding a port= option will force an NFS mount to be done. Want to give it a try? Historically the nosymlink would have had the same affect but, even though the mount code looks for it it doesn't use it anymore. That may not be such a bad thing given the name of the option and the fact that it's not mentioned in the man pages. If this achieves what's needed then I'd rather document the use of the port= option in the man pages and keep the nosymlink a candidate for the chopping block.
