will do.

that was the original automount in sunos.  i'm pretty sure that sun 
deprecated it as well and just treated the extra : as a slash.  but it 
worked almost exactly like i want.  a single nfs mount is made, no matter 
how many subdirectories were referenced.  i can't recall exactly how the 
mounts were laid out to make it all happen.  but it was extremely useful 
in the days when a system could only handle 32 or some really small number 
of nfs mounted file systems.  that isn't such an issue today, but i still 
worry about it for a mail or web server that may touch 1000s of home 
directories at once so that is why i use the recursive automounts.  it 
also makes df output much more readable.  like i say, it has been working 
pretty well until recently (i think when i started using autofs v5).
