[rhelv6-list] NFS ID map?

I've got some systems that I'm replacing, and while migrating data from
the old NFS servers to the new NFS servers, I ran into a dumb mistake:
the user/group IDs don't match between the old and new (I thought I was
going to be able to shut down the old services, sync the data, and bring
up the new, so it didn't matter then, but that isn't going to work).

I know NFS has some type of ID mapping, but I've never messed with it.
Is this something that it can help with?

I have data owned by 500/500, accessed by a service running as 500/500,
but the new NFS server ended up with the user as 1000/1000 (and I need
to mount the new storage on the old servers for migration).

Any suggestions, or am I stuck with reconfiguring all the new stuff to
use the old user/group IDs?
