Hmmmm..... Looking at our /install AA I see: 

 drwxrwxr-x+  1 root     sys_admin    1024 Dec  6 12:26 ri.apollo.nfs.v.2.1
 drwxrwxr-x+  1 root     sys_admin    1024 May  3 18:45 ri.apollo.nfs.v.2.2

We got NFS 2.2 around the first of the month. I like it better than
NFS 2.1. But what I'm really waiting for is "NFS 3.0" (I just made up
the name, I have no idea what it will be called) that will support
YellowPages, file locks, the auto mounter, PCNFS, and paging to/from
NFS devices. I heard that this NFS will be around the "SR10.4 time
frame".  (A quote from somebody talking at the ADUS sys_admin SIG.) I
think SR10.4 is sometime this summer/fall.

[I think Mike was talking about the "NFS 3.0" release, as he was at ADUS
 too. Or perhaps I heard that at the session lead by the guy with the
 large ears....]

With regards to PCNFS, I can't guarantee taht everything runs tiptop. 
But we/I got it running on our thinnet running from our 400t and DN4500 with very little
trouble. 
Note: It's all do it yourself :)
