I have an NFS server with a directory which contains a dozen other local filesystems. I'd like to mount the top-level directory on the server, and have the Linux client automatically mount the right filesystems inside that directory, so that the client sees the same directory structure that exists on the server.

Does it not work to add the top level directory to /etc/exports? – Matt Sep 9 '11 at 1:26

You may want to look into the nohide NFS export option to recursively mount filesystem hierarchies. This is assuming the NFS exports are from a Linux system (versus a filer or NAS) and that you're interested in mounting its mounts to your client.
