We would need to do something different as there will only ever be one
mount and so only one line in /proc/mounts.

Perhaps something like:

/etc/auto.server1.home,/etc/auto.server2.home   /home   autofs ....

and that could be further simplified by using nsswitch with "files" as a
source (you know they will be in /etc if not otherwise specified):

auto.server1.home,auto.server2.home     /home   autofs ....

Well no, but it's fairly straight forward.
