[OpenAFS] when clients come up faster than servers

When my power fails, most of my (linux) clients come up before
my servers, and so I have to manually reboot clients to get
their afs going.

Is there some way to handle this problem gracefully?  It seems
that a reasonable solution would be to delay starting afs (on
clients) until afs service (server-wise) is up and running.
Has any one implemented such a thing?  Other ideas?
