Errors with 2.2 and NFS?

Recently, I've noticed a couple of postings on problems with 2.2 and NFS.
Well, last week, I helped to set up a netboot/file server for a 15-computer
lab.  We experienced a lot of NFS problems.  Very few errors were ever logged,
but the problem was finally so bad (the server would freeze up completely
several times a day) that someone decided to install 3.0.

Certain files which worked from partition b on the server would not work over
nfs.  I was able to find the error "bad address" a couple of times
while on a client machine after a cp command, but most of the time the
server just would hang.  Hang as in only alt-command-* would do anything.

Are there any known problems with NFS and 2.2?  We are running an 040 Cube
with a NeXTDimension board and a 1.4G drive as our server to a lab of
15 Colorstations.  Any ideas what could cause this?
