Presumably the exports are distinct, in which case using a list of
server should allow autofs to try each one?

What about trying something like:

In the master map put:
/homes  auto_homes      nosuid,grpid,nobrowse,proto=tcp,port=2049

In NIS auto_homes put:
*       thor:/export/rbg/homes/staff/& figaro:/users/rbghiwis01/rbghiwis/& 
figaro:/users/stud09/stud/&

With the order determined by the server likely to get the most hits.

Ensure that /etc/nsswitch has:
automount: files nis

and /etc/auto_homes, either doesn't exist or contains, as the last line,
+auto_homes

And finally this patch.
Beware, I haven't even compile tested this and I know I excluded the
NFS4 here for a reason, which I can't remember atm.
