This is the required behavior for "hard" NFS mounts. NFS doesn't deal with servers that drop off-line very well.
Perhaps you should use the "soft" and/or the "timeo=N" value. A "soft" mount will not cause your client to hang if the server goes away. Unfortunately, this also has implications for application program's ideas about file integrity, but there you go.
