I can confirm this problem on Precise 12.04.3 with mountall=2.36.4 from
precise-updates.

With clientaddr=0.0.0.0, nfsstat -s showed rapidly incrementing
'setcltid' and 'setcltidconf' operations on the server, and high IO
utilization on the root volume due to writing v4recovery information.

Although I am not certain on this part, shortly after performing updates
on three clients which bumped mountall to 2.36.4, our NFS server crashed
after 300 days of uptime less than 24 hours later. ( Don't have much
data here, but it was brought down due to an OOM condition, I'm assuming
due to a memory leak somewhere in the NFS code. This server is used
exclusively for NFS, and no user-land process was to blame. )

Reverting mountall to 2.36 and rebooting restored a properly configured
clientaddr, and the excessive client ID operations stopped.

Changes in mountall 2.36.1 and 2.36.2 both seem highly suspicious, see
LP #643289 and LP #1078926.
