No, sorry, that's not how TCP/IP works.  If the server is down, then
your client has no way to *know* that the server is down, except by
waiting for the protocol timeout to be reached.

This is different than if the NFS *service* is down or firewalled, in
which case you will get an immediate reject.

This is unrelated.  If your server is down, you're not getting an EACCES
error.
