Secure NFS

Hello all,

I would like to set up a secure NFS in my network. However, I really would like not to have to install portmap deamon 
on my server as I don't trust it anymore. Moreover, I would like all the network trafic to be encrypted.
I naturally turn myself to SFS server and clients but it doesn't fit my needs. I want a secure exportable file system 
that I could add to my /etc/fstab file so it could be mounted at boot time (to store users' home directory for 
instance).
I know there is a way for tunnelling NFS with SSH but it seems too experimental for production...

So what should I do to resolve this problem ?
