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.
