1. Configure FAM on the remote machine to accept FAM requests from
   your machine (assuming it is not currently).
2. Try changing the NFS polling interval to something less frequent
   with the -t option.

Could you quantify the traffic levels you're seeing over your network?
What is the bandwidth or maximum transfer rate of your network?  If
FAM is making your network unusable, this could be a bug.

I hope this helps
