Unsure what you mean.  If the two servers mount the same
ocfs2 volume and export them via nfs, isn't that clustered nfs?

Is there any cluster NFS solution out there? (Two NFS servers sharing the same filesystem with distributed locking and failover capability)

    Appears what you are looking for is a mix of ocfs2 and nfs.
    The storage servers mount the shared disks and the reexport
    them via nfs to the remaining servers.

    ubuntu 6.06 is too old. If you are stuck on Ubuntu LTS, the
    next version 7.10 should have all you want.
