I still think my original answer is the answer for you.  The only difference 
between your system and mine is that my NFS server is Solaris, and yours is 
OpenSolaris.  Since you said you were confused by my post, let me try to break 
it down:

On my solaris NFS server, I don't want to export my filesystem to every single 
IP address on the LAN.  I want only specific clients to be able to access the 
server.  In the example below, I'm allowing "someclient" to access the server.  
These clients must have matching forward and reverse DNS.  You could probably 
set up for exporting NFS to a subnet if you wanted to, but you'd have to read 
the "man share" command to figure that out.  I have exported my NFS filesystem 
using the following command:
share -F nfs -o 
rw=someclient.domain.com,root=someclient.domain.com,anon=4294967294 /export

To make the "share" command persistent across reboots, just stick it into 
/etc/dfs/dfstab after you've run it manually once.

If you like, instead of using "share" and "dfstab" as described above, you can 
set the sharenfs property on your ZFS filesystem.  It has the same effect, 
according to "man zfs"

If you have a RHEL/Centos 5 client, you have autofs5 installed by default.  You 
can configure automount to automatically mount the NFS server upon attempted 
access.  Here's how:

Edit /etc/auto.master and stick this line in:
/-  /etc/auto.direct --timeout=1200

Also edit /etc/auto.direct and stick this line in:
/path/to/mountpoint  -fstype=nfs,noacl,rw,hard,intr,posix 
server.domain.com:/export

If you have a RHEL/Centos 4 client, you have autofs4 installed by default, and 
autofs4 doesn't support "direct" automount as described above.  "Direct" 
automount is much better than what they could do in autofs4, so it's worth 
while to remove autofs4 and install autofs5 instead.  Then, you can use the 
same "auto.master" and "auto.direct" as described above.
