NFS in a VPN

[Golder, Fred]

The fragmentation is a fact of life with a VPN and maximum sized packets.
any tunneling type protocol has to add bytes to the packet during the
encapsulation.  Also any data integrity scheme will have to add bytes to the
message.  This will cause packet fragmentation, but it isn't a bug.

It should be OK. One of the problem I found on buggy VPN implementation was
some fragmentation issue with NFS v3.
