Custom info keys are defined globally (with an org) but can
potentially have a different value for each system.  Case in point we
have two data centres about 1600km apart.  Nodes at location A use NFS
server A, while those in location B use NFS server B.  A simple script
is used to set the nfs_server custom info key for each server and then
the key is just referenced in the autofs file like:
/fileshare      -rw,hard,intr     {|
rhn.system.custom_info(nfs_server) = defaultnfs.company.com
|}:/fileshare

If the custom info key is not set for a server it will use
'defaultnfs.company.com'.

I hope this is what you were after.
