This is how I've always done it. I'm pretty sure it will work well for you too.
Please note, the below are notes for opensolaris, which means autofs5. I'm not
sure which versions of linux included autofs5, so you should check your package
manager to be sure.
In opensolaris, there was a convention to use the _ instead of the .
I'm pretty sure in linux, it would be /etc/auto.master and /etc/auto.direct
Append this line to the end of /etc/auto_master
/- /etc/auto_direct --timeout=1200
Create /etc/auto_direct as follows:
/Downloads -fstype=nfs,rw,hard,intr,posix someserver:/some/export
