Trying to mount 4000+ ZFS fs/mountpoints via NFS as root

ZFS + NFS Server: FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE-p2 AMD64
NFS Client: FreeBSD 7.1-RELEASE-p11 AMD64

after mounting 420 of them with "mount -a" correctly the command stops with the following messages on the NFS client

Code:

The log of the NFS server said:

Code:
Apr 21 16:04:44 hg20 mountd[36207]: mount request from 10.0.0.24 from unprivileged port
Apr 21 16:04:44 hg20 last message repeated 15 times

It looks like FreeBSD is running out of privileged ports while mounting them?!

I'll test this with a FreeBSD 8.0 NFS client tomorrow.

There are only 1023 privileged ports (1 to 1024) on any *nix system.
 
Can't you just mount /home/www once and do something locally with the directories under it (e.g. using nullfs, if that's possible from an NFS mount)?

The problem is, i want to use ZFS disk quota (as long as user/group quota isnt ready).
In order to do so, i need to set up a fs/mountpoint for each user on the zfs.
Every /home/www/xx/xx directory is for one user.
And to make them accessible via NFS i need to mount every single user directory.

Edit...

We mounted them over non privilege ports. Looks like it works.
