The NFS server I was referring to is on the host hosting the guests. It
is a kludge. I don't want to run it, but doing so is the only way at the
moment I can make NFS mounting in the guests work.

No, because my aim is not to run a server. I simply want the guests to
be able to mount NFS filesystems from other hosts elsewhere on the
nework. I have guests on other systems doing this without requiring NFS
servers on their hosts.
