NFS mount on a single cluster member

Hi -

How would one go about doing a nfs mount on one member of
a cluster only. I don't want the other cluster member
to know about this mount in any way. I understand the
ramifications of this request but that's what my customer
is looking for. I DON'T want the folowing:

When a cluster acts as an NFS client, an NFS file system that is mounted
by one cluster member is accessible to all cluster members: the Cluster
File System (CFS) funnels file accesses through the mounting member to
the external NFS server. That is, the cluster member performing the
mount becomes the CFS server for the NFS file system and is the node
that communicates with the external NFS server. By maintaining cache
coherency across cluster members, CFS guarantees that all members at all
times have the same view of the NFS file system.

Thanks and regards,
Sondra
