Assumed that exporting a directory also exports other filesystems
mounted therein.

Export /media with the 'crossmnt' option.
>From exports(5):
       crossmnt
              This option is similar to nohide but it makes it
possible for clients to move from the
              filesystem marked with crossmnt to exported filesystems
mounted on it.   Thus  when  a
              child  filesystem "B" is mounted on a parent "A",
setting crossmnt on "A" has the same
              effect as setting "nohide" on B.
