If you mean a file physically on A, exported and mounted on B being
exported by B, no. It can only be mounted from A.

It's prohibited.

The reason is /etc/exports, which expresses limitations by the host
physically having the file system.

Let's assume that /etc/exports in host A allows host B to mount /exportdir,
but does not give access to any other hosts. If host B were able to
re-export the file system, the limitation put by the host A would be
useless.

The proper way is to mount from the source directly, provided the
administrator of the source host allows it.
