Well, I don't believe NIS guarantees the order in which results are
returned.  I'm not sure about NIS+.

The internal behaviour of the Linux automounter is that all of the entries
are cached, but the first to be found is the one that is used.  Note that
this is all hidden under the covers from the various lookup modules.  So,
you shouldn't have to do anything specific in the nis+ module.
