I will give an example of 1 stanza to help provide clarity of the map.
/clients/CLIENT1 is the offset
Once logged into a host you can cd to
/clients/CLIENT1/proj/space
/clients/CLIENT1/proj/pkg_test
/clients/CLIENT1/proj/GPA/historical-data
/clients/CLIENT1/d0/prod1/reports
/clients/CLIENT1/u1/prod/reports
/clients/CLIENT1/usr/local/bfm/std
/clients/CLIENT1/tmpint
/clients/CLIENT1/apps
/clients/CLIENT1/web/htdocs
All mounts are under the offset /clients/CLIENT1.
I hope I am clear in my explanation.
/etc/auto.master has the below entry
/clients prod-autofs.clients.common -hard,intr
prod-autofs.clients.common has the below entry
Client1 /proj/space
Client1-nfs.Client1.blackrock.com:/clients/Client10103/proj/space \
/proj/pkg_test
Client1-nfs.Client1.blackrock.com:/clients/Client10103/proj/pkg_test \
/proj/GPA/historical-data

ocs
I thought my mistake might have been that /etc/auto.master should look
like (indirect vs. direct map)
/- prod-autofs.clients.common -hard,intr
and prod-autofs.clients.common should look like
/clients/Client1 \
/proj/space
Client1-nfs.Client1.blackrock.com:/clients/Client10103/proj/space \
/proj/pkg_test
Client1-nfs.Client1.blackrock.com:/clients/Client10103/proj/pkg_test \
/proj/GPA/historical-data
Client1-nfs.Client1.blackrock.com:/clients/Client10103/proj/GPA/historic
al-data \
/d0/prod1/reports
Client1-nfs.Client1.blackrock.com:/clients/Client10102/d0/prod1/reports
\
/u1/d0/prod1/reports
Client1-nfs.Client1.blackrock.com:/clients/Client10102/d0/prod1/reports
\
/u1/prod/reports
Client1-nfs.Client1.blackrock.com:/clients/Client10102/d0/prod1/reports
\
/usr/local/bfm/std
Client1-nfs.Client1.blackrock.com:/clients/Client10101/local/bfm/std \
/tmpint
Client1-nfs.Client1.blackrock.com:/clients/Client10101/homes1/tmpint \
/apps
Client1-nfs.Client1.blackrock.com:/clients/Client10101/local/bfm/apps \
/web/htdocs
Client1-nfs.Client1.blackrock.com:/clients/Client10101/local/bfm/web/htd
ocs
Please say if the formatting gets garbled and I will figure out some
other way to get you the map entries.

Don't know, maybe.
Using an indirect mount with entries that have offsets instead of direct
maps is fine and is the only valid way to setup map entries that are
nested (ie. where there are mounts within another mount).

I presume below is your prod-autofs.clients.common?
It looks a bit broken but that may just be the way it's formatted.

So this is the end of the first entry?
Where is the mount location?
> Client1-nfs.Client1.blackrock.com:/clients/Client10103/proj/space \
> /proj/pkg_test
Then where is the key for this entry and what is that path doing there
without a mount location?
Each indirect map entry (with offsets) should have a form:
key [/] location [/path location [/path location ....]]
or
key [[/] location] /path location [/path location [/path location ....]]
An un-escaped newline marks a new map entry.
If there are too many offsets in a single entry and they aren't nested
then you can turn the map entry into a direct map. If some do have
nesting then you can use a direct mount map entry up to the point of the
nesting and then use offsets in that entry for the mounts below it.
These entries don't appear to match this syntax but that could just be
the formatting imposed by the mail client.
