Hi Alvin-

Thanks for the quick response!  Actually, this isn't quite it.  I
don't want to mount (or export) the root from each machine.  Instead,
by some ancient ad-hoc convention, each file system is exported as:

    /nfs/<machine>/u??

So the mount entery looks like:

    /nfs/<machine>/u??  <machine>.<domain>:/nfs/<machine>/u??

I think the Sun/Solaris/SGI boxes have been accessing these using the
`multiple mounts' feature of the Sun and SGI automounters (I just
figured this out by reading the Solaris automounter man page more
carefully).  I'm pretty sure autofs-3.1.1 doesn't have this feature
yet. The TODO file indicates that they are slated for autofs-4.x.

                -Fred
