Example:

# /etc/auto.net server2
-fstype=nfs,hard,intr,nodev,nosuid \
        /home server2:/home \
        /home/pcsupport server2:/home/pcsupport \
        /var/www/html server2:/var/www/html

This means that I can access:

server2:/home		as /net/server2/home
server2:/home/pcsupport	as /net/server2/home/pcsupport
server2:/var/www/html	as /net/server2/var/www/html

(There could be restrictions on the NFS server
so your client machine might not have access).
