Ian,
Looking at Sun's documentation it doesn't appear that they take into account ping times when using automounter maps. It looks like they just sort by network proximity and then weight. Would it make sense to remove the rpc_ping requests and only use network proximity and weight.
Also, it seems like it would be best to return all of mounts from the get_best_mounts function in order from best to worst. Then, when it's time to mount the directories we can try the first and if we get permission denied or it isn't there we can fail over to the second, etc. As opposed to what happens now if the best host has nfs temporarily disabled (or the wrong permissions set) the whole directory fails to mount.
Thanks, Chris
