I can't see that making an autofs mount permanent will help ...
If the NFS server goes away and it is mounted on your client (via the
automounter or statically), the client will still hang on accessing the
mount point.
If you want to 'see' all the automount mount points, then start the
automounter with BROWSE_MODE="yes" (in /etc/sysconfig/autofs)
