You might try adding auto to the options in your fstab line:

 yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy:/pearson/data    /pearson/data   nfs     rw,auto      0

Also, as a side note, you might want to try using nfs4 if your nfs
server supports it.  It is generally faster and more reliable (there
are other good things about it like better locking as well)

Here is my fstab entry (bob is my servername):

bob:/var/data/samba  /var/data/nfs/bob         nfs4    rw,auto  0 0
