Well, I don't feel qualified to comment on Netinfo, but I do know that you  
don't want to try to remount a local disk as an NFS mount.  From the info  
you've given, it sounds like on your server you have an automount on  
/usr/local that points to server:/ExternalDisk/local.  You do not need NFS  
for something that is available locally.  I'm not sure if NFS supports an  
NFS server also being its own NFS client.  I think you would confuse it.

What you may want to do is just make a soft link on your server that  
points /usr/local to /ExternalDisk/local.  The server already has  
/ExternalDiak mounted as a local filesystem, you wouldn't be able to  
export it if it wasn't; you don't need to mount it a second time, and you  
certainly don't want to mount NFS if you can mount BSD (or is it Mach?).   
There's probably people who know more about NFS, perhaps they'd care to  
comment?
