In short - we have two CentOS-based NFS servers. They work fine with a variety of Linux machines but when I try to mount them from a Mac OS X 10.5 or 10.6 machine I get nowhere. I.e., the Mac does not complain yet reads nothing over the NFS.

I have CentOS 5.5 NFS servers and a load of Macs, both Leopard and Snow Leopard. I too had a lot of NFS trouble, especially for multi-homed NFS servers, until I switched from NFS over udp to NFS over tcp (for the Macs only), and now everything works well. I even had trouble with NFS over udp to Mac clients from an OSX NFS server.
