[ale] autofs fall back?

[Chris Coleman]

Robert,
 
We used this feature with the autofs under Solaris. Under Solaris you use the map files (auto_home, auto_master, etc.) to map a single path to multiple servers. For example:
 
auto_direct:
/usr/man   -ro   apollo:/usr/man zeus:/usr/man neptune:/usr/man
 
This first attempts to mount the man page directory from the server apollo. If it does not work, then try zeus, and lastly neptune.

	Unless my memory is completely gone, a LONG time ago I worked on a system
	that had a form of fall back for autofs.  It was configured for homedirs
	so that if you cd ~home it would try to mount server1:/home/foo, if that
	was down or unavailable, go to server2:/home/foo and if that failed it
	would link: file:/usr/home/generic.
	
	Anyone have anything setup similar or know how to work it?  "multi-map"
	isn't the same thing.
	
	
	:wq!
