You might check your firewall setup on both backend and frontend. I
had an issue on a system I set up a few months ago, where iptables
kept killing NFS sessions after a "idle timeout".

You don't say what OS you're running, but if you're running a
redhat-derivitive (centos, rhel, fedora etc) you should be able to
stop the iptables service (as root) by typing "service iptables stop".
Give it 24 hours and see if that helps.

To stop the service from starting on boot (again on a redhat) you can
type "chkconfig iptables off"
