If you're tired of the stale file handles, why not virtualize your storage behind an Acopia switch?

Just throwing a question out there curious to hear people's thoughts or experiences. Every time I end up dealing with hundreds of stale file handles because of a server move/change I become increasingly annoyed by the stateless nature of NFS and think to myself "Maybe this time I'll finally start seriously looking at AFS."
Other than lots of other ways an AFS deployment could be complicated, I wonder how if at all a Netapp can be part of an AFS deployment?
Also feel free to tell me how using AFS is crazy in general and I should just accept my stale file handles.
