Client migration prototype

this is still a work-in-progress [2008-01-09]

As part of CITI's work with IBM, we looked at some of the issues involved with NFSv4 client migration and developed an initial prototype. Our setup involved a cluster of equivalent NFS servers attached to a GFS2 disk array, with each server exporting the same directory from the GFS2 filesystem. The intent was to provide an interface by which an administrator could selectively migrate NFSv4 clients from one server to another (e.g., to take a server down for maintenance).

The prototype is limited
