Wouldn't a "program" automount map be the preferred solution to your 
problem?  The script presumably then have conditionals in it to pick the 
appropriate map.  I don't know that I, personally, would rely on nisMap 
vs. automountMap.

I was under exactly the opposite impression :-) ? I assumed that since 
migrate_automount.pl uses nisMap that was the preferred setup.
