Yes, I've been running amd for years, but the warning in the amd(8)
man page prompted me to switch to autofs last week as part of updating
my system. My amd maps had a way of specifying per-client information,
which I indeed used in the way indicated above.
I bit the bullet yesterday and implemented this capability in an
include_nis script attached to
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=221010
It currently doesn't notice IPv6 addresses that belong to "self,"
as I haven't decided how to parse _that_ ifconfig output (and does
anyone really specify IPv6 addresses in NIS maps?)
