I tried mounting the Washington Univ. St. Louis archive (wuarchive.wustl.edu)
via /Net NFS mounts, but some of the directories appears empty when accessed.
I think this is because of the way directries are structured at wuarchive, and
the order of autonfsmounts are not right, for example:

/archive/usenet is mounted before /archive is mounted.  The later mount
that is closer to the root of directory tree must be over-riding the
previous nfs mounts.

My question is how do I specify in NetInfo to mount /archive first BEFORE
/archive/usenet, /archive/mirrors, etc are mounted?

Nidump shows the mount order correctly, but actual mounts seem to take place
in the reverse order.  Why and how do I change the order of autonfsmounts?

Thanks.
