Arghl, you said the "i" word....
Anyways, I think the neighbour cache is fully appropiate, is it not?

But it's not clear such a hack would be worth it anyways. 
If anything it would be probably better to let mountd set the RTTs, e.g. 
implicitely with MSG_CONFIRM (I hope it is using it these days ...)
