Thank you for getting basic replication working. Now replication only
works when the NFS exports use the same path, if different paths are
used it fails.

Multiple replicated hosts, different (potentially) paths:
<path> host1:/path/pathA host2:/path/pathB

My configuration:
jon787  -hard,intr,nodev,nosuid junkers:/home/jon787 tesla:/home/setec/jon787

If the first server is firewalled off mount just hangs, otherwise if
NFS is down I get RPC program not registered and the mount fails. It
never falls back to the second host.

Similar problems with weighted hosts using different paths. Weighting
works perfectly as long as the paths are the same. If they are 
different, like this:
jon787  -hard,intr,nodev,nosuid junkers(1):/home/jon787 
tesla(2):/home/setec/jon787

I get this in my log files
May 11 19:52:46 localhost automount[21582]: >> mount: can't get address for 
junkers(1)
May 11 19:52:46 localhost automount[21582]: mount(nfs): nfs: mount failure 
junkers(1):/home/jon787 on /srv/autofs/jon787
May 11 19:52:46 localhost automount[21582]: failed to mount /srv/autofs/jon787

Note that it wants to find the server named junkers(1) instead of
junkers. It also never even tries the second host.
