Can't connect to certain Network Appliances boxes. No rhyme or reason.
Both /net and /home directories fail on some Net Apps but not others. The
Net App boxes are exporting correctly. We can mount the netapps, just not
via autofs.
Errors from the messages file...

The fact that you're seeing that in your logs shows that autofs is working fine.. your host tried to mount the directory and was denied by the server. I'm seeing the exact same thing for some new linux boxes I just installed over the weekend and some of our NetApp filers, and we're seeing the same thing from some new Solaris hosts as well.
I'm wondering if there's some kind of name/ip caching bug on the netapps that caches a deny for a very long period if you try to mount before your netgroups/dns is updated with the new host information.
