So, no mirror mounts in /net?!  Please say it ain't so :(

The current /net -hosts automount map depends on the MOUNT protocol to
get hierarchical mount information and does honor hierarchical mounts,
but it does not refresh this ever, which is a big problem when the
server uses ZFS (and therefore likes to make/destroy datasets willy
nilly).  Mirror mounts would clearly solve this problem.
