Ahhh .. you've spotted a bug.
But it also depends on what patches are included in your autofs build.
Looking at the code I see there is a bug when setting the RPC ping
timeout for remote hosts. But there is a patch that eliminates the ping
check for map entries don't have multiple hosts. So it may be something
else.
Anyway, this patch should apply, give it a try.
autofs-5.0.3 - fix proximity other rpc ping timeout
From: Ian Kent <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
The timeout for the RCP ping for hosts that are on a network other
than the local subnet or network is mistakenly set quite short. This
can lead to unexplained intermittent failures for hosts on remote
networks.
