I just posted some patches that implement this for 4.1.4.  Ian's
pretty busy with v5, so I'm not sure when they'll be included.  For
now, it's safe to rebuild your centos RPM on FC-5.

Well, you could use the multi-map syntax.  In auto.master, you would
have something like the following:

/foo  multi: file /etc/auto.foo -- yp map.in.nis
