apologies that my first message wasn't as clear as I'd hoped ...

currently the setup basically is as below just with lots more mounts etc ...

dn: ou=auto.master,dc=blah
objectClass: automountMap
objectClass: top
ou=auto.master

dn: cn=/nfs,ou=auto.master,dc=blah
automountInformation: ldap:ou=auto.nfs,dc=blah
objectClass: automount

dn: ou=auto.nfs,dc=blah
objectClass: automountMap
objectClass: top
ou=auto.nfs

dn: cn=tmp,ou=auto.nfs,dc=blah
automountInformation: -rw,hard,intr,tcp,vers=3 server1:/export/tmp
objectClass: automount

The problem is that one or two dirs in our tmp structure have become
project dependencies & are put under very high load which our tmp
server can't handle - simply moving the data would be awesome but
unfortunately the paths have been hard coded into a few apps which
will take longer to fix & re-deploy than re-doing mount exports
(hopefully) ...

Basically I'm trying to achieve in LDAP the equivalent of this little
example from a files way of doing things:
tmp    -rw,hard,intr    / -ro myserver.me.org:/ \
           /usr myserver.me.org:/usr \
           /home myserver.me.org:/home

I was *hoping* this [below] would work, as its a little more readable
than jamming everything into an automountInformation attribute ...

dn: cn=tmp,ou=auto.nfs,dc=blah
automountInformation: ldap:ou=auto.tmp,ou=auto.nfs,dc=blah
objectClass: automount

dn: ou=auto.tmp,ou=auto.nfs,dc=blah
objectClass: automountMap
objectClass: top
ou=auto.tmp

dn: cn=weekly,ou=auto.tmp,ou=auto.nfs,dc=blah
automountInformation: -rw,hard,intr,tcp,vers=3 server1:/export/tmp/weekly
objectClass: automount

dn: ... one for each /nfs/tmp/* mount

I guess if it comes to it

dn: cn=tmp,ou=auto.nfs,dc=blah
automountInformation: -rw,hard,intr,tcp,vers=3  /weekly
server1:/export/tmp/weekly  /hourly server1:/export/tmp/hourly
/production server2:/export/prodTemp
objectClass: automount

isn't *too* bad ...

TIA,
Shane
