title: NFS network traffic with auto_direct
body: <p>I'm interested in how the NFS network traffic goes when there is a redirect on the server side.</p>
  
  <p>E.g.: the client accesses <strong>dir_a</strong> , mounted on the NFS <strong>server_a</strong>, but on <strong>server_a</strong> , <strong>/etc/auto_direct</strong> contains an entry that redirects <strong>dir_a</strong> to <strong>dir_b</strong> on <strong>server_b</strong>.</p>
  
  <p>In this case, which server will the NFS client communicate with ? The most important question is, between which machines will the bulk of the NFS data traffic take place ?</p>
  
  <p>All this is for Solaris 10, if that matters.</p>
