Actually, I think she's refering to the way Solaris does autofs. The
comma seperated list of hostnames is evaluated by autofs itself, not
passed along to mount. The hostnames are passed along to seperate mount
requests, providing a sort of failover. (For example, two nfs servers
providing access to identical filesystems. If one stops responding,
Solaris will try to force a remount from the secondary server.)
A cool feature, but probably not supported in Linux autofs. (Or is it?)
