Re: autofs v4: speak now or forever hold your peace

   Sorry, I do not see the problem. Maybe I do misunderstand, what you want. Bu
  t I
   had the same problem, to mount a tree of directories from a machine, without
   the user guessing + plus the mechnanis should work for any host whithout
   changing the automounter maps. Here is my solution within the existing autof
  s.
   
   1) I reorganized all my nfs servers to have mount points like
     /hostname/data1
     /hostname/data2
   
Try coming here for a while and doing that.  While "here" uses a subset
of the 16.0.0.0 Class A address space, we have more servers than one
organization can support, let alone one person!  :-)

Also, don't forget some of the NFS-served Internet archives like
gatekeeper.pa.dec.com (which is not "here", but three time zones away) and
one at wustl.edu.  They may be good candidates for direct maps and multiple
mounts of a subset of what's available.
