Watch out for relative references between filesystems. There may be an implicit assumption that all three filesystems within /usr/local are concurrently mounted - this may not be true using a map like the above example. For example: a symbolic link "/usr/local/bin/foo" could be a reference to "../lib/foo". The symbolic link will fail if "/usr/local/lib" isnt currently mounted. The automounter will not do the mount because the relative pathname doesn't go through the automounter's mount point (/usr/local). BTW: It's not a good idea to mount executables "soft". If the server goes down while the executable is running you can get a SEGV or similar crash when a page-in fails. I prefer "hard,intr".
