RE : NFS with Dynamic IP clients

Why not, but my probem is that my NFS server must accept 300 clients.
Using a VPN for each client will probably use a lot of processor ressources.
Moreover I'm not sure it is possible to get so much VPN connections on a
server.

Maybe I must use a different transfert protocol than NFS!?

I have a fixed NFS server connected to Internet. Clients have
dynamic IP
addresses. How can I secure clients NFS connections?

Setup and use a VPN so that the clients appear to be on a trusted
internal subnet which the NFS fileserver permits?
