Automounting nfs shares

I have a small home network with nfs set up so that the computers can share files. Commonly only one of the computers is running, particularly at first. I would like the running computer(s) to automount the nfs shares from the other computers when they come on line.
I have been using a line in etc/fstab to mount the shares. This works with the one problem that a boot time there is a delay and a failure message as the computer tries to mount the shares from computers that are not on line.
I use gnome-volume-manager (gvm) to automount hardware devices. This, of course, responds to HAL events and I presume that a computer coming on line on a network does not cause the kernel to generate a HAL event. Is there any way of getting gvm to automount nfs shares?
Alternatively, I have read that some people uses autofs to automount nfs shares. Would there be any problems with using autofs alongside gvm and udev?
