Anyway, am I correct in believing that the export bug only works if the

Dave.

It depends. On some systems, 127.0.0.1 maps to "localhost.their.domain"
while on others it just maps to "localhost"

If their mountd allows export to "*.their.domain", then theoretically,
localhost will be included.

Does this sound right?
