However, this doesn't address the issue of the client being *the same

it, since local == remote; you can no longer send packets to the
server and get a response back. You can do it if you can get the
client and the server sides to bind to *different* IP addresses, in
which case the current autofs behaviour will correctly see them as
being separate and mount NFS.


Would binding an alias address to the interface be sufficient?




No, you have to force the local port to not be bound to the same address. I think this can be done with iptables rules, but I'm not sure... I'm not a networking wizard.



I know you can do this using chbind from the vserver toolset and kernel patch.
