You might want to test the tcp option.  On a LAN, performance can be greatly
degraded by using tcp instead of udp.  I always specify tcp for VPN or WAN
mounts.

Here are my standard mount options:

-o rsize=8192,wsize=8192,hard,intr,proto=udp

This is the environment I use for amd on rh7-9 going to an Auspex NFS filer
(Solaris 6 based).
