This is a good idea!!! Look at http://www.goop.org/~jeremy/autofs/ ,
you will find patch to allow multi-mount and "program" map to emulate
-hosts option .

You don't have to specified the map type (file, program, nis), the
starting script guess it:
- if map exist on disk => "file"
- if map exist on NIS => "nis"
- if map exist on disk and is executable => "program"
