Is NFS secure enough for apache
Ok, here is what i have. I have two webserver. (A and B) Anything sent on port 80 to my ip is forwarded to server A. I created an NFS export of /var/www/html on server B that is exported only to server A, and mounted it as /mnt/serverB on server A. I then created a vhost in apache on server A for serverB.mydomain.com that used /mnt/serverB as it's DocRoot.
My question is, is that setup secure. I read that NFS is very insecure. If so, is this setup vulnrable? Thanks for any adivce you can give me. -Mr.K

security depends on the circumstances...
nfs as such is quite insecure, but if you are behind a firewall (i assume because you say port 80 is forwarded), this should block all attacks from the outside. if someone manages to hack one of your www servers though, you donīt need to worry about nfs security anymore at all
