Hi Ara , 
       what is servant mode ?
       what i am saying is that  if machine1
      is  acting as NFS server than it allows client  
    
       to reclaim lock  when lockd restarts.
       machine1 is also  NFS client
       of some other server. if NFS server on 
       machine1 goes down , lockd wont be killed
       as NFS client on machine1 requires it.

      Later , if NFS server is restarted on 
      machine1 , lockd wont restart(already running)
      and hence does not enter grace period.
      
      Let me know if i am not  clear

regards,
 --kiran
