Same here with an 14.10 AMD64 installation on a KVM machine.

The workaround with "mount -a" in rc.local doesn't help much for daemons
that need the mounted NFS share at startup. They're failing when the
mount isn't present at boot time.

I've stopped further deployment of Utopic until this bug has been fixed.
It is really a showstopper and needs a fix very soon.

Title:
  fstab entry for nfs /home fails to mount on boot

Status in “mountall” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  i'm uncertain exactly when this issue started as we use cfengine
  (verifies all expected mounts in place, manually mounts those that are
  not).  from a note i have i believe it goes back as far as lucid.

  the symptom is that an /etc/fstab entry for an nfs-mounted /home is
  not mounted during the system boot. once the system is network-
  accessible, manually running `mount -tnfs -av` as root (or using
  cfengine or any number of other solutions) is sufficient.

  per lp#836533 i added "--verbose" to /etc/init/mountall.conf and will attach the resulting /var/log/upstart/mountall.log and /etc/network/interfaces. the smoking gun appears to be:
  mount.nfs: Failed to resolve server nfs-home: Temporary failure in name resolution
