Joe,
If the NFS servers are identical, there is a chance that it may
work. However, if the file systems are not identical (from file
system ID point of view), it will not work, no matter if it is UDP
or not. The stateless is only true to that particular server. BUT,
that is the NFSes I had been worked on before based on Sun's
original invention, it may not true for others implementations.
