    Given that there can only be one map active at a mountpoint, and the 
first one wins (which is why the -null map works) that would be 
/etc/auto.server1.home,

    Yes - perhaps more of a problem, but:

a) is there any limit to the line length?
b) can you actually get space-containing paths into use through the parser?

   For b), if you can't it's not an issue, if you can you could URI 
encode it?
