FWIW, I (Ubuntu 5.10) have autofs or whatever it's called -- /etc/auto.* .
What I could divine is:

/etc/auto.master defines a daemon, which controls a mount tree ], all with a
particular set of options (including timeout). Each daemon has a control
file /etc/auto.foo, which specify what dirs it should watch. Minus all the
comments, my /etc/master is:

/mnt/auto /etc/auto.misc --timeout 1500
/mnt/dvd /etc/auto.dvd --timeout 5

/etc/auto.misc is:

scratch -rw,fstype=ext3 :/dev/hdc8
media -rw,fstype=ext3 :/dev/hdc6
schedules -rw,fstype=minix,loop :/var/schedules.img

/etc/auto.dvd is:

dvd1 -fstype=auto,ro,mode=0666 :/dev/cdrom
dvd1_exec -fstype=auto,ro :/dev/cdrom

eben@pc:~$ grep hda /etc/mtab
eben@pc:~$ ls /dvd1/ > /dev/null ; grep hda /etc/mtab
/dev/hda /mnt/dvd/dvd1 iso9660 ro,mode=0666 0 0
(wait 5 seconds)
eben@pc:~$ grep hda /etc/mtab
eben@pc:~$ ls -l /dvd1
0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 2006-08-06 12:18 /dvd1 -> /mnt/dvd/dvd1

dvd2 is loaned out right now, so I disabled it.
