I do read the CERT advisories and know that RPC and NFS are not secure.  

Our PSN will be as secure as our PRO, just without NAT.  Maybe "IP Pass Through" is 
not the proper GNATBox term.  We have to eliminate NAT because the GNATBox cannot 
support H.323 protocol for apps like NetMeeting.  And it doesn't matter which way you 
slice (NFS server on PRO or PSN), I have to open certain ports.  Before I tried, I 
thought I might ask if anyone was doing the same and how it works.

It is not a good idea to export NFS from the PRO to any other network. If
you feel compelled to use shared files, export from the PSN to the PRO.
The reason for a PSN at all is to avoid the risk to your PRO if the PSN is
compromised.  Opening up a NFS server on the PRO to the PSN increases the
risk of exploit.
