We have a pool of four NeXTs. One netinfo-server, one clone server and two  
clients. All user accounts are network accounts. All home directories are nfs  
mounted on all machines.
Now the problem is, that if one machine is overloaded and the nfs server is not  
responding, all machines are hanging (little disk icon turning) and nobody can  
work. (I'm not sure if it should read "nearly all" and "nearly nobody"). Even  
if I have a remote shell connection to a machine outside the pool, and the nfs  
server of the NeXT, where my home directory lives, doesn't respond, the rsh  
connection hangs.
Is this behavior correct or is there something wrong with our installation?

Thanks in advance, 
	Michael.
