NFS /home over local /home

Hi,

I've read various tutorials but can't seem to get to work what I would like:

In my home network I want to have central /home directories so that every user
can use any machine and find their environment.

I have a few laptops dedicated to users and those users will want a working
laptop outside of my home network also but they can accept have only a
rudimentary environment.

To summarize:
- at home laptops should mount /home from a central server
- outside home laptops should access /home locally
- no synchronisation is needed

After some reading I thought this sounds like an autofs task.

I defined

auto.master:
/home /etc/auto.home.nfs

auto.home.nfs:
* -fstype=nfs server:/home/&
+auto.home.local

auto.home.local:
* -fstype=bind :/home.local/&

It works except that the local home directory is always picked over nfs.  For my
purpose, I want it the other way around.

I tried quite a lot to turn it around but couldn't figure it out.  Is it
possible or is autofs not the right choice for me?  Should I approach the whole
subject differently?
