My amd.homes is considerably simpler than that.  We automount to
/homes/username using something like this where the machine
alexis has the real home directories.

# amd.homes
/defaults	opts:=nodevs,soft,rw,type:=nfs;proto=tcp,

*	host==alexis;type:=link;fs:=/home/${key} \
	host!=alexis;type:=nfs;rhost:=alexis;rfs:=/home/${key}
