I think yes, NFS can't tolerate changing IP, both in client and server side.

I remember it, well not exactly identical case, when my NFS server
dies. In that case, the NFS client box just hung....I guess it waited
for somekind of acknowledgment....but none coming. IMHO it gets worse
when you use "sync" option in NFS.
