The ability to have automount point to automount is something I use heavily as 
well.  Otherwise I end up with many hundreds of nfs mounts on the server at a 
time. having hundreds of bind mounts on the client is preferrable. The old sun 
method of doing this was:
host:/path/name:dir
which would mount host:/path/name and then symlink dir.  Now we' d use 
bind/loopback mounts.  But that syntax has been gone a long time.

It doesn't seem like threading should inherently cause a problem.  Each request 
should be a new thread and wait for the underlying mount (which might be 
recursive) to finish.
