I tried both way, I mounted the ISO to /test then copy its full content to the root of my export and even left the ISO there just in case. I still see the error "That directory does not seem to contain a CentOS installation tree", do I have to dd the ISO I just did a simple cp -rf *

Dear CentOS community, I have install centos via CD, DVD and Directly off the net via http and FTP. Now I want to do a NFS install from a local server and a client. Both, client and server are in the same vlan 10.14.10.0/255.255.255.0.
The server has a static 10.14.10.15 address and the client gets its own address via DHCP. I download the DVD image from one of the mirrors and placed it under /centos-media/centosdvd32/DVD/CentOS-5.5-i386-bin-DVD.iso which is a dedicated partition on the server to hold all images. After that I exported the usual entries under /etc/exports and reloaded NFS using /sbin/service nfs reload. This is what my exports file looks like:
[root@zeus DVD]# cat /etc/exports /centos-media/centosdvd64 10.14.10.0/255.255.255.0(ro,sync,all_squash) /centos-media/centosdvd32/DVD 10.14.10.0/255.255.255.0(ro,sync,all_squash)
After doing so, I also modified the entries under IPtables to allow traffic in 111 and 2049 at the UDP/TCP level and restarted the service as shown bellow.

When I try loading the net-install disc from the client i get to the area where I specify the Ip of the server and the NFS path in the server, hitting enter returns "That directory does not seem to contain CentOS installation tree", I triple check the ISO and I know its there with all appropriate permissions. Can someone tell me what am I missing? I have spend all day trying to get NFS working in the local vlan, i know that all ports are open within the vlan at the routers level. Any clues?
Did you actually mount the ISO file, to expose the directory structure to the netinstall script? I don't think it can read ISO's directly, but I could be wrong?
