[plug] NFS & dm-crpyt

Now that my box is finally back online after a nightmare weekend (see OT 
post about 'backups, partitioning...' later when I get to writing it.)

I am thinking of encrypting some of my partitions with sensitive data on 
them.
I have a 2.6.6 kernel with dm-crypt and am using cryptsetup to tie 
things together.

One of my partitions that I want encrypted (encase computer get 
stolen...) also needs to be available over NFS (I know that this kinda 
defeats the purpose) but I obviously don't want to be storing keys 
around and the likes.
If I have the mount point in /etc/exports and then once I am logged in I 
mount the encrypted partition on the exported mount point will it 
actually work or will I have to reload the exports?

Are there any other gotcha's with doing this?

Thanks
Tim
