This should not be an autofs feature but an NFS feature, for obvious reasons: it's equally applicable for static mounts.
Furhtermore, failover HAS to be done at the NFS layer.
The fact that Slowlaris does it in autofs is not a good motivation --
it's idiotic design.
*Ahem*. Solaris has had NFS client failover since 2.6. Linux is still playing catch up in this arena.
Failover is not handled in the automount layer, but rather passed on to nfs layer itself. man mount_nfs.
