[ale] NFS through IPChains firewall

I am trying to set up NFS through an IPChains firewall. The firewall is
being used to seperate some lab PCs from the rest of the user population.
The firewall also contains the DNS server for both the user side and the lab
side of the network. Passwords/group information is being held in NIS on the
same server that has exported the NFS mount points and it seems to be
working fine. The exports file is set with the proper permissions, however
when I try to mount a file system from inside the lab I get a permission
denied message. Anybody have any thoughts?
