depending on the speed of the disk of our failover server (it only has one 
250MB ide disk) we get transfer rates between 40 and 60MB/s.

Did you already try to enable nfs over tcp? We got around 800MBit in our 
tests. 

Also, the network cards might be important. Our computer center suggested to 
use Syskonnect cards and we are very pleased with the SK-9821 cards.


Cheers,
