Is that map marked as deleted? That depends on what version of autofs you are running. Up until very recently, autofs version 4 would actually exit if a map source was no longer available! I don't know what the autofs5 behaviour was, but it wasn't exactly right either. Now it services requests from its cache until the backing store is back online. I'm not sure the fix for this has made it into any released v4 package, but Ian incorporated this fix into his 5.0.3 release.
