Other options:
1. Use Amd on all platforms. May be helpful if different machine
types need to mount different binary directories or something,
but you just want to maintain one set of automount maps.
2. Write a script that converts one type of automount map to the
other. Place that script on the NIS server. Arrange things so
that you just edit one of the maps, then run the script (or a
make with the appropriate makefile) to create the other automount
map and update NIS.
