You could investigate NFSv4 instead of plain old NFSv3 because NFSv3 is
not secure. NFSv3 rely on trusted IP and UIDs which mean any host which
connect with a trusted IP can access anything providing the
corresponding UID in the transaction.

A Kherberos v5 KDC and encrypted NFSv4 is a more secure choice.
