I run an NFS server on an in-house IP network.  I was recently contacted
by someone who's on a separate in-house IP network who'd like to become
a client of my NFS server.
 
The two IP networks are connected by a firewall supported by a third-party.
 
Is there any good way to allow an NFS client to talk to an NFS server
which is on the other side of a firewall?
 
I've got access to the source code of the NFS server, but not of the NFS
client.
 
Please send your response by e-mail.  I'll consolidate the responses and
post the result to the list.
