Removing bogus NFS mounts?

How do you remove bogus NFS mounts from DU 4.0b?

The manual pages tell, that there is no longer a file
/etc/mnttab, where mounts are stored, but they are stored
in the kernel instead.

For example: automounter dies for some reason and leaves bogus mounts
from other NFS servers. If that happens, automounter cannot be
restarted, it just complains "NFS server <servername> not responding".

Is there any way of removing such stale NFS mounts without
rebooting the machine? The do disappear, if I reboot, but I
would rather avoid it if possible.

BTW, the mount problem with RPC authentication errors was
solved: mountd had internet domain checking enabled and
the domainname of the server is different from the mount
client. When I changed the checking to subdomain checking,
everything works fine.
