Are they all going to be running FreeBSD, or do you have a mix of 'nix's running?

The automounter for osx for example is incompatible with FreeBSD's automounter. I can't speak for Linux, but the possibility exists.

If you don't have a redundancy environment set up for /home to automount from point a, and if it fails, try from point b, then just use fstab.

That, and use a hostname rather than an IP address in fstab. That way, if box a goes down, you can change an entry in DNS and now box b can server nfs.

If I set up a network in which the /home directory is shared to all client computers, is it better to have the clients mount the nfs share in fstab or to let automount handle the mounting? What are the pros and cons of each?

Thnx in advance for all input,
