Hi,
    I am using suse 9.0 on cluster machines 
    (runnnig nfs servers) and on client machine.
    I am also using virtual ip so that nfsserver
    is transparently failed over to other machine.
    
    when nfs server fails over and sm-notify 
    notifies the client , client does not reclaim 
    locks  , reason being that nfsserver sends 
    notification using its base ip address and not 
    virtual ip
    
    Client does not find this base ip in its monitored

    host list(as it access nfs server using virtual
ip)
    
    This works on Redhat systems as rpc.statd has -n 
    option using which statd on server always 
    communicate with client using virtual ip
    (rpc.statd -n <virtual ip>)

    Also let me know if rpc.statd is going to be part 
    of Suse later or is sm-notify going to be modified

    to give full functionality of  rpc.statd

    Any suggestions would be appreciated
    Thanks,
    kiran
