NFS

Is it possible to have two separate fstab files. One for
ufs (local disks) and one for remote disks (NFS). The reason
I want to do this is that I anticipate having a large number
of machines to mount and it would be nice if I had one global
fstab file. I talked to my local DEC wizzard and he suggested
creating the fstab file at boot time from two separate files.
Any other ideas. 

Also I would like to able to mount directories with root 
priviledges to the admin nodes (defined in netgroups) and 
allow the rest of the world non-root priviledges. I tried 
creating separate entries in my exports file but it seems 
to only read the first entry. I know that I can do this for 
subdirectories:

exports file
/usr 
/usr/spool/mail -r=0

this works but why does this not work

exports file
/usr 
/usr -r=0 admin

where admin is defined in netgroups. 
The reason I want to do this is so that I can do backup from 
one central location.

Thanks in adavance
