You want direct filesystem; here is part of doc:
The direct filesystem is almost identical to the automount
filesystem. Instead of appearing to be a directory of mount points, it
appears as a symbolic link to a mounted filesystem. The mount is done
at the time the link is accessed. Automount Filesystem for a
list of required options.
Direct automount points are created by specifying the direct
filesystem type on the command line:
amd ... /usr/man auto.direct -type:=direct
where auto.direct would contain an entry such as:
usr/man -type:=nfs;rfs:=/usr/man \
rhost:=man-server1 rhost:=man-server2
In this example, man-server1 and man-server2 are file
servers which export copies of the manual pages. Note that the key
which is looked up is the name of the automount point without the
leading /.
