CentOS 5.1, i686, 2.6.18-53.1.13.el5 SMP, autofs-5.0.1-0.rc2.55.el5.3. 
Fully updated. Two processors. Multi-homed system (3 interfaces, DNS 
reports all IP/names in both directions). Server is also a NIS master and 
DNS server.

Automounting of file systems on the server is apparently going through the 
NFS stack w/o a bind mount:

In /etc/auto.master:
        +auto.master

In the NIS auto.master map:
        /fs/home auto.home rw,rsize=32768,wsize=32768

In the NIS auto.home map:
        username  server-fqdn:/local/home/path/&

So, on doing a "cd /fs/home/username", we get an NFS mount:

        server-fqdn:/local/home/path/username on /fs/home/username type
                nfs (rw,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,addr=one-of-server-IP)

Everything works fine, but doing, for example, a large "make -j2" within 
/fs/home/username results in several nfsd threads consuming approximately 
80% of one CPU, and performance drops through the floor. Autofs not 
recognizing the server-fqdn as the name corresponding to the primary IP on 
each interface? Worked properly with autofs4. Thoughts? TIA,
