The idea is that auto.net takes top-level directory (/prj in your case)
as a place to mount. Then it takes second-level directory as server
name and invokes 'showmount -e' on that server. Third-level (and lower)
directory should be a share name on that server.

So,

That part of configuration is correct.

You lost me here. If 'd0' and 'dv' are share names, you should use
auto.net like this:

cd /prj/<server_name>/d0
cd /prj/<server_name>/dv

If d0 and dv are host names - poke them with 'showmount -e' first, and
use them like this:

cd /prj/d0/<share_name>
cd /prj/dv/<share_name>

Therefore 'gv' is a host name and 'merb' is a share on that host.
Assuming you're using stock auto.net.
Debug autofs output confirms this:

update_offset_entry: parse(sun): updated multi-mount offset /merb ->
-fstype=nfs4,soft,intr,nodev,nosuid,async gv:/merb
