You should consider using AutoFS to mount NFS.
AutoFS has many advantages over normal mount.
I am an expert in NFS as I have been managing 100s of clients accessing data over NFS in a hierarchical storage environment.
I can configure your NFS within 20 minutes.
Also, I can write email to periodically check NFS mount. However, with AutoFS, you don't need to worry whether NFS is mounted. It will mount :-)
