[CentOS] C 7, lockd issue

I thnk I posted this last week, but to refresh your minds (for Americans,
after all the turkey): two C7 boxes, updated. box 1 is exporting
directories; box 2 is not running nfs.  From box 1, every minute, I get
<...> kernel: lockd: server fred.local not responding, timed out

Now, on box 2, fred is eth0:fred, and is one of five secondaries on eth0.
When I do an ip a, it shows as the last one. Further, df shows no
directory from box 1 being mounted.

So, does anyone have a clue on this?
