When you say "see them" you mean "ability to access them via a transport protocol" or what I liked to call an "access method". NFS is just one type of "access method". Wouldn't it be good to support http, https, ftp, rsync, ssh. Have you ever tried to NFS mount something on the Internet.
If you see my original post, I thought "--available-as=nfs://etc." would do as you described, but it doesn't. So what is the difference between using --available-as=nfs:// and NFS mounting the path and then using import on the nfs mount point?
