We have a Sun 3/280 running as a file server for 8 diskless 3/60's and
3/80's (and possibly 6 more 3/50's).  Our server is also mounted on nearly
ten other machines.  The end result being a bucket-full of NFS traffic
being generated.

I have heard of "NFS servers" that do nothing but serve nfs requests, and
do it fast.  If anyone could point me to a source of documentation or
salesdroids on these or similar products, I would be most grateful.
