$ sesearch --allow -SC -s httpd_t -t nfs_t
Found 10 semantic av rules:
   allow httpd_t file_type : filesystem getattr ; 
   allow httpd_t filesystem_type : filesystem getattr ; 
DT allow httpd_t nfs_t : file { read getattr execute open } ; [ httpd_enable_cgi httpd_use_nfs && ]
DT allow httpd_t nfs_t : file { ioctl read getattr lock open } ; [ httpd_enable_homedirs use_nfs_home_dirs && ]
DT allow httpd_t nfs_t : file { ioctl read write create getattr setattr lock append unlink link rename open } ; [ httpd_use_nfs ]
DT allow httpd_t nfs_t : dir { getattr search open } ; [ httpd_enable_cgi httpd_use_nfs && ]
DT allow httpd_t nfs_t : dir { ioctl read getattr lock search open } ; [ httpd_enable_homedirs use_nfs_home_dirs && ]
DT allow httpd_t nfs_t : dir { ioctl read write create getattr setattr lock unlink link rename add_name remove_name reparent search rmdir open } ; [ httpd_use_nfs ]
DT allow httpd_t nfs_t : lnk_file { read getattr } ; [ httpd_enable_homedirs use_nfs_home_dirs && ]
DT allow httpd_t nfs_t : lnk_file { ioctl read write create getattr setattr lock append unlink link rename } ; [ httpd_use_nfs ]

As far as i can see in the above output, access by httpd_t to nfs_t is allowed only when httpd_use_nfs is set, and this is expected behaviour.

What AVC denials are you seeying?
