Yes You can but with some modif.
At my work, there is a SUN NIS map :
/home auto.home -rw,soft
/net -hosts -nosuid
/- auto.direct -rw,soft
"/home" is a classical automount, "/net" the hosts automount and "/-"
is a direct map.
I've modifed the startup script to parse "-host" with "auto.net"
program map and "/-" with links and pseudo-map.
Ok, the NIS direct map is transformed in a set of fix maps but it is
enough for me.
(you can see the script in http://www.lifl.fr/~soula/autofs.init)
