Problem solved but not understood: After moveing the NFS-Server from  
the DMZ (which was a temporary solution) to its final destination LAN  
anything is fine - NFS works again like charm - really fast and  
reliable.

What did change:
1. No more router/fw in between client and server
2. client and server are on the same media-type (before there was a  
conversion from 100MBit to 10MBit, since the DMZ runs on a 10 MBit  
Network - for environmental reasons :-)

Interesting ... One thing I want to note: I also tried NFS over TCP -  
this did not change anything.
