Inn 2.3.0 with NFS

I am having an odd problem with INN 2.3.0 on FreeBSD 4.2 using a
shared spool setup.

I have 3 readers (all running nnrpd) which work fine.
They mount my NFS server for /news/db /news/spool

I have 1 spooler which mounts the NFS server.  

We are using a Cidera news feed, so of course our news server gets hit
hard.

It's a Dual P-III 550 with 2GB of ram.  Now here comes the problem:

When everything is up, all works well.  However, at least once a day, the
spooling machine locks up.  I have been unable to figure out why.  My only
guess is that perhaps the NFS server doesn't respond in a timely manner at
some point to upset the spooling machine enough to crash.  Anyone have any
suggestions?  Our news spool is 400+ GB and were using 512MB CycBuff files
and we're also using buffindexed for overview information.
