NFS export question

I have an NFS export already existing for a file system sterling and exported it as /sterling/images. Now, user wants an NFS export under that subfolder. Is that possible?
current NFS export 172.16.200.10:/sterling/images and is mounted on /images
user wants another export 172.16.200.10:/sterling/images/cert/small/public and mount it on /public
Is this possible? since I have already a parent export existing in NAS Or is there any other way of getting this done in unix?
I'm planning to use nfs command "server_export server_4 -P nfs -name public /sterling/images/cert/small/public" and input the IPs from GUI but not sure it work or not and also worreid if it mess up the parent NFS export which is in porduction. Any ideas?

    Hmm...thats cool. thanks dynamox.
    Will they be able to mount new NFS export on a sub folder of the first mount path /images/public instead of local folder /public ? They asked me this and I said it is not possible sicne that is again mounting on NAS export path. Just making sure.
    "mount 172.16.200.10:/sterling/images/cert/small/public /images/public" this command will nto work I guess. Just confirming.

    not sure about that,  i know you can export it like this:

    /sterling

    and another nfs export

    /sterling/images

    and mount these to two different mount points on the host.

    Yes, nested exports have been implemented for a number of years now
