How do I configure the automount (amd.map) file for NFS?

I have some hundred home folders that needs to be mounted on a server. They don't need to be active all the time, since most users only use it a few times each week. Is using amd a better solution than fstab?

How do I configure the amd.map file if I want to map

server:/tank/olav to /home/olav
 
Why not mount the directory containing the home directories instead of mounting all home directories individually? That way you'll need one single static mount without all the overhead of amd mounting/unmounting on-demand (or lack thereof).
