 > My system defaults to tcp nfs v3 if no options are specified.

How does one achieve/config that (Solaris like) in autofs4?
Likewise achieving the NETAPP recommended TCP options timeo=600,retrans=2

If you have mix of servers, some only supporting UDP, but wish
to prefer TCPv3 whereever it's available and UDP only if no choice...

I use scripts programs (like auto.net), that do rpcinfo
to test if the server supports TCP and add the options. But even
emulating NIS look-ups, overall result (scripts) are considerably
slower.
