If you do "man 5 autofs" and look for "Replicated Server", does that do what you're looking for?
Replicated Server Multiple replicated hosts, same path: <path> host1,host2,hostn:/path/path
Multiple hosts, some with same path, some with another <path> host1,host2:/blah host3:/some/other/path
Multiple replicated hosts, different (potentially) paths: <path> host1:/path/pathA host2:/path/pathB
Mutliple weighted, replicated hosts same path: <path> host1(5),host2(6),host3(1):/path/path
Multiple weighted, replicated hosts different (potentially) paths: <path> host1(3):/path/pathA host2(5):/path/pathB
Well how do you like that. I don't even remember updating the man page.
You need to be a little careful here as this work is fairly recent. There were several difficulties with that were fixed along the way.

If you have problems then the autofs list is the place to get help.

Excellent information, thanks! I was having some problems with the autofs-4.1.3 package that was in rawhide as of a few days ago -- some of my multiple-host automounts seemed to be picking the first host, while other automounts that also listed the same hosts were working correctly. I'll start tracking Jeff Moyer's packages and the autofs list.
Thanks!
