NFS Filesystem from Solaris mounting under Linux (offtopic.... kinda)

Does anyone know how to make Linux STOP caching the RPC port that NFS is
bound to? We want to configure all clients to connect to the privledged
port (111) and check with the RPC server for the NFS port assignment.
Most clients handle this fine and this is the default behavior... Except
linux, which apparently caches this information and the next time it
connects it goes straight to the NFS server without checking in with the
RPC server. If I have the connect to privledged port option enabled,
this results in the linux client accessing the NFS share to get blocked
(since it didnt obey the proper protocol to connecting).

I've been banging my head on many solid objects trying to figure out how
to get Linux to stop this broken behavior, anyone got any suggestions?
