autofs (with nfsv4) "mounting" all my HOSTS file entries

Hi

Just built an Arch based NAS with nfs and autofs on the client(s) (aslo Arch machines).  No problems.

But there's a strane behaviour by autofs :

I'm using my HOSTS file as a basic site blocking tool so my HOSTS file looks like

127.0.0.1           localhost.mydomain       localhost       ben
::1                     localhost.mydomain       localhost       ben
192.168.168.110 nas.mydomain               nas             nas

#start of lines added by WinHelp2002
# [Misc A - Z]
127.0.0.1  fr.a2dfp.net
127.0.0.1  m.fr.a2dfp.net
127.0.0.1  ad.a8.net
127.0.0.1  asy.a8ww.net
127.0.0.1  abcstats.com
127.0.0.1  a.abv.bg

127.0.0.1  adv.abv.bg
127.0.0.1  bimg.abv.bg

Now, when  I ls /net (where autofs mounts it's shares), I'm getting :

005.free-counter.co.uk
006.free-counter.co.uk
007.free-counter.co.uk
008.free-counter.co.uk

092706152958.c.mystat-in.net
0d7292.r.axf8.net
(... many more such lines here)

In short - all sites in the HOSTS are "mounted".  (The nas shares are also mounted and usable).

Any ideas how I can prevent autofs from mounting all my HOSTS definitions will be appreciated.
