Problem solved.... sort of.
We had been looking at solving the problem from the system side of things, so we were frustrated that we could not get anything to quite work (such as setting the rnode value very low, turning off attribute caching, etc).
Some time away from the problem yielded a solution.
We modified apache so that it would re-stat a file if it got the stale nfs file handle error.
viola. simple.
Unfortunately, we were so worked up over solving this other ways that we failed to see the obvious.
Sigh.
We turned in a PR to the Apache group asking that the stat hack be rolled into the main source tree.
