A very simple case would be something like this:
/etc/auto.master ****************************** /mountpoint /etc/auto.fileDescribingMount
/etc/auto.fileDescribingMount ****************************** directoryToMountTo -opts /dir/to/mount
Working example: /etc/auto.master ****************************** /ftp /etc/auto.ftp
/etc/auto.ftp ****************************** myDir -ro,soft ftp.example.com:/pub/myDir
