You shouldn't have to do this. This means that local machines can't have
local settings!
In my opinion:
According to the man page for autofs:
autofs will consult a configuration file /etc/auto.master
(see auto.master(5)) to find mount points on the system.
For each of those mount points a automount(8) process is
started with the appropriate parameters. You can check the
active mount points for the automounter with the
/etc/init.d/autofs status command. After the auto.master
configuration file is processed the autofs script will
check for an NIS map with the same name. If such a map
exists then that map will be processed in the same way as
the auto.master map. The NIS map will be processed last.
