Yes. I don't want to do this because our sysadm wants the freedom to
move file systems around whenever he needs to. I would prefer to do
all Unix file system access through a single host (host1), and leave
any foreign mounting etc up to that host.

8.0.2 (UX1200) -- if there's an 8.1, we haven't received any word of
it.

I think so. I have it as: 

    NFS-AUTOMOUNT /net -hosts

The Unix host in question invokes automounting via

    automount /net -hosts &&
