Re: NSF 4.1

I haven't yet had a chance to try using nconnect and dNFS together, but it is planned to do so.

They aren't really the same idea, I believe.  Direct NFS is connectivity from each Oracle server process directly to the NFS server, bypassing the kernel-based NFS client.  Nconnect appears to be multiple network connections per process.  So I expect nconnect and dNFS to have a positive complementary and multiplicative effect.  If you get there first, please share?
