The program map gets passed the key as the argument, and you need have
the program map output whatever you would put beside the key in a file
map. If it returns a nonzero exit code that is considered a failed
lookup. For example, here is a shell script program map that returns
one of two servers depending on the first letter of the key:
#!/bin/sh -
#
# letter_map
#
l1=`echo "$1" | cut -c1`
case "$l1" in
[a-e]) server=a-e ;;
[f-p]) server=f-p ;;
[q-z]) server=q-z ;;
*) exit 1 ;; # Invalid key
esac
echo "-fstype=nfs,rsize=8192,wsize=8192 $server.mydomain.com:/export"
exit 0
