mountd capabilities

Hi all,

I have the following problem:
I wish to export a directory to many hosts with different access rights. Some
hosts need read/write access with root mapped to uid 0, some other hosts need
r/w access without root rights. The rest of the world should have read only
access.
Considering the manpage of (2) exportfs I think the kernel can support this,
but the syntax of the /etc/exports file seems to not support this. I cannot
successfully combine the export options -root=... -rw=... and -ro for a single
directory.
Does mountd and exports support this (and I am simply too dumb to understand
the syntax) or do I have to write a new mountd or is there any other way to do
it?
I am using Digital UNIX V4.0D and TruCluster 1.5 without C2 security (upgrade
is possible, if necessary).

Thanks in advance
