If you do it right the files will be the same on each machine. This
simple example shows how to keep a solaris box from loopback nfs
mounting its own file systems. A more complicated setup would do what
you describe with a single amd map (possiable shared via your favorite
directory service):
* -rfs:=/export/home/${key} \
host==draupnir;type:=lofs \
host!=draupnir;rhost:=draupnir
