I have no way of testing, as my automount shares are on the device I ssh from to my freevo box. So my automunts are always available when I am coding on my freevo box.
Maybe someone else can test: from freevo host, ls -lah your automount dir when you know the share is not available. If there is no delay then it would be more cpu friendly if we just check if the dir exists before adding it to display. Thoughts?
