automount seems to be a good option as pointed below.

my original question
was what would happen to clients using nfs mounted fs if the nfs server were
to crash.

Thanks BB

If the server
crashes and then comes back up again an automouter client
will have a glitch
but keep working. A normal nfs client would normally
need to be rebooted
(quickest soln). The sceanario you describe is exactly
what automounter was
written for.

The Unix System Administrator's Handbook recommends using what
is now
called am-utils (www.am-utils.org) over suns automounter. I tend to use
suns automounter on sun and am-utils everywhere else.
