yup... i tend to use /.autofs as the mountdir...
and usr explicit symlinks from /.autofs to /net/{host}
and the local link is ln -s ../ /net/host
works good for all my scripts to keep all boxes in sync with each other

think we just need to train the windoze users from touching the
servers .... ( no reboots, no resets, no root access, no ssh logins, etc )
seems to make for a better nfs environment..
reset/kill the main servers ( like home:/home and mail:/var/spool/mail )
