    I hate following up to my own stuff but....

    This restriction isn't correct, and came from my misunderstanding of
    the public file handle. By default the public file handle is equivalent
    to / on the NFS server so any shared filesystem can be accessed (subdirs
    that aren't shared can't be accessed).

    There is only a restriction of one filesystem if you use the public share
    option to explicitly set the location of the public file handle to something
    other than / - which most people don't.
