The NFS version 4 (NFSv4) protocol provides a mechanism for a
collection of NFS file servers to collaborate in providing an
organization-wide file namespace.  The DNS SRV Resource Record (RR)
allows a simple way for an organization to publish the root of its
file system namespace, even to clients that might not be intimately
associated with such an organization.  The DNS SRV RR can be used to
join these organization-wide file namespaces together to allow
construction of a global, uniform NFS file namespace.  [STANDARDS-TRACK]
