I've used autofs to do this for quite a long time. It works very well. Also, if you uncomment the "auto.net" config file in auto.master file, it will let you access any NFS path in your network by using the special path: /net/<hostname>/exported/nfs/path If you don't want to access it from there, just put a symlink to the correct location. This, btw, is how the NFS mounts on the TriLUG servers are all done. The /backup directory is only mounted when needed so that we don't have to worry about too many NFS mounts at a time. (Also, you don't have to worry about NFS upon boot, but rather at access time.)
