Written by cslee-ubuntu the 19 Mar 12 at 22:11. Category: Internet & Networking. Related project: Nothing/Others. Status: New

Solution #1: Make NFS register and unregister DNS SRV records
Written by cslee-ubuntu the 19 Mar 12 at 22:11.
These days most systems have access to dynamic DNS.
If NFS was able to register SRV records when it started and unregister them when it stopped then browsing tools could esily locate the NFS shares and offer the chance to mount them using the gvfs etc.
