ReExporting NFS mounts under RHEL ES 3

Can $1 be set in a script

I have a scenario where I have three linux hosts. Host A is on a production network. Host B has two NICs, one on the production network and one on a private network. Host C is on the private network. Host A is sharing data via NFS, we'll call itexport. I want host B to be able to mountexport from host A to its ownexport and then re-export via NFS on the private network that very sameexport to host C.

Out of the box NFS in RHEL3 doesnt seem to allow this. Attempts to mount a re-exported directory on host C from host B results in a "rpc.mountd: getfh failed: Operation not permitted" error. Now I know in SuSE there is an option in etc-rc.config called REEXPORTNFS="yes", but I can find no such analog for RHEL 3 in anything inetc-sysconfig. On some versions of NFS, its possible to give rpc.mount and rpc.nfsd the "--re-rxport" option, but these appear to be invalid for RHEL 3's NFS as well.

How can I enable re-exporting of NFS mounted directories in RHEL 3? Is this going to require some kind of kernel tweak or compiling a different version of NFS?

Thanks, Robert
