Is there any way for automounted home directories to co-exist with local account homes in /home?

In reading through all the (sparse) documentation I can find, it seems that what I'd like to do is impossible, but it would be good to get confirmation.

We have some systems which will mostly be accessed by users authenticated against and AD directory and with home directories automounted from an NFS server. However these machines also have some local accounts which are needed for technical reasons.

For convenience sake, I'd like all the home directories to co-exist under /home:

   /home/local_user1
   /home/local_user2
   /home/ad_user1
   ...
   /home/ad_user2

I thought I could do with with direct maps, but can't seem to get it to work without explicating all the AD users, which would be hard to manage. The usual paradigm of using indirect maps like this:

   auto.master:   /home   /etc/auto.home
   auto.home:       *   nfs_server:/home/&

masks everything that is in the local /home, including any local home directories.

Is there any way to do what I'm trying to do with autofs, or should I just bite the bullet and move the local home directories to /local/home?
