'browse mode' issue

[Guillaume Rousse <Guillaume.Rousse@inria.fr>]

Hello list. I've several questions about browse mode option.

First, I have opposite reports about the effects of 'browse mode' option 
in automount configuration. Some times ago, a user reported than setting 
it to 'no' was CPU-unfriendly, so we turned it to 'yes' by default in 
mandriva package:
https://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=31901

However, I now have another report than allowing browse was harmful on 
large networks, causing lots of IP collisions.

So, I'm curious at what should be a good default value for this option.

Second, having a look at the code, it seems 'yes' is the default in the 
binary, but, but default configuration file set it to 'no', which is 
quite disturbing. If there is a good default value for this option (and 
even if there was not), I'd rather have consistent default values in 
both places.

Last issue, I can't find a correct description on what this option does 
exactly anywhere :)
