So it is as I feared, I saw the possibility to convert afs to nfs. The 
reason I was trying to setup the system in this way was to be able to use 
the nice backup features of zfs. Do you know whether it is possible to 
arrange the volumes like:

/vicepa/voss/<>.vol

In this case, with a bit of scripting, we might be able to use the 
zfs-snaphot features by mounting the snapshots seperately

Thanks,
 	Christian
