It means that it'll pay attention to requests to find something in /net.

e.g. If I request "/net/server/downloads", whether that be with an "ls"
command, "cd" command, or a plethora of other filesystem access methods,
automount will attempt to access the "downloads" directory on a machine
with "server" as its hostname (that hostname could be mentioned in
your /etc/hosts file, or a DNS query can be made to resolve it).  I'm
not sure if it'll try both SMB and NFS, as I no-longer use SMB on my
system, but it definitely works with NFS.
