Some time ago, you could run two nfsds in parallel on the same machine;
they bound to the same port and took turns serving requests.

Now, when you start up two of them (and uncomment the TCP part, which
complains about the socket already being in use), both run, but only
one of them gets any packets sent to port 2049.

I think that eiter of two things should happen:

- The second nfsd should get an error condition "port already in use"
  or something like that

- The two processes should get the incoming packets alternatively
  (maybe with a special option).

Comments?
