NFS Server does not start at boot - DNS resolving not working soon enough?

curmudge1Mar 11 2016 — edited Mar 11 2016

Oracle Linux 7.2 (PRETTY_NAME="Oracle Linux Server 7.2")

First effort with Oracle Linux 7, we have a couple of Oracle Linux 6 hosts with Oracle RDBMS, Ubuntu server vms, and just a couple Solaris 10 systems left.

I have configure nfs server, and when I started it manually, did NFS sharing just fine.  Rebooted the host this morning, and NFS servrer did not start automatically, see below.  Seems that exportfs cannot resolve client host names at that time, but when I login after the system is up, nfs server starts just fine, absolutely no problem.  As though DNS resolving does not work soon enough during boot.  Coincidentally, I have the same  problem with Legato (now EMC) Networker startup, complains about host name resolving for this host, but if I put this host's entry in /etc/hosts, Networker starts at boot time no problem.  I certainly do not want to put all the NFS client hostnames in /etc/hosts as a work around, that's just asking for trouble later when something changes. 

Anyone have any ideas on getting DNS resolving working sooner, or having NFS server wait & start later?
