Is there a "dynamic-way" of refreshing an updated netgroup declared on a NFS share?

Suppose you have a NFS share, whose "rw" permissions is according to the "machines" netgroup.Suppose that NFS clients are already mounting the share and you need to update the netgroup.

Is there a way to reflect the changes without disrupting NFS client theoretically not impacted by the netgroup changes?
Similarly, if a NFS client that's mounting the share, is removed from the updated netgroup, how to reflect the changes so that the client "immediately" looses it's permission to the NFS share?

I ask because it seems to exist some "latency"(persistence/timeout/cache) with the old value that I'd like to override but with minimal impact, that is, not impacting those clients who shouldn't be affected.

Howdy, Stranger!
