anyone have a config for amd to automount home dirs? off redundant hostnames?

in amd, when fileserver:/exports/[export1] is automounted, the files/dirs in [export1] are accessable but not viewable in a "ls" Any way to change this?

ex:
automount fileserver:/exports/dir1 to
/mnt/dir1
ls /mnt/dir1 ==> no files shown
cd /mnt/dir1/somedir and ls
works fine

mount fileserver:/exports/dir1 /mnt/dir1
ls /mnt/dir1 ==> shows somedir
cd /mnt/dir1/somedir and ls
works fine

I'm looking at my automount situation and wondering.  Is one going
away?  Which is the "way to go" for automounting, amd or autofs?

autofs vs amd is like tinydns vs bind or exim vs sendmail
( its does it do the minimum you need or is it loaded w/ unused features

one thing that both is missing is "multi-homed servers"
if www1.foo.com is down, than it uses www2.foo.com or www3.foo.com
but at least one can do all that in other tools

its more critical for your home/user's servers on your local lan

use autofs ... simple answer
