It does, thanks a lot. And shame on me for not mentioning the kernel version - it's pre2.0.31-2 but the problem applies to any recent kernel.
I do have the latest mount, but based on my discution with amd's maintainer I didn't think the problem was in mount.. now I know better :)

I was testing the alpha version of amd 6.0 which does not have the debian patches yet. The maintainer asked me if there is any flag similar to NetBSD's NFSMNT_NOCONN to avoid connecting the socket, I didn't find anything so I went through the nfs code to find some clues. Then posted the message..
Ok, so I referred amd's maintainer to the debian patches, the relevant portions will be incorporated in the next alpha version of am-utils 6.0.
Thanks again, Ionut
