There is an article on this:
http://ezine.daemonnews.org/200202/automounting.html
Maybe you'll get it to work. I tried it myself once a couple of years
ago and I just couldn't get it to work reliably. I admin several FreeBSD
servers and all kinds of stuff you might expect to run on it: mail
services, web services, ftp, database etc, and I don't think I'm
particularily stupid when it comes to installing/configuring open source
software. However, I just couldn't grasp the concepts behind this
automounting stuff. Finally, when I quit trying to understand it and
just blindly followed the article to the letter, I got it working
somehow, but there were still issues (the details of which I've
forgotten by now).
Hope you have better luck.
