autofs will handle both issues just fine. 1. autofs disconnects a mount if there hasn't been any activity for a certain amount of time (default 5 minutes). 2. see above
A distributed filesystem might create even more problems, as you'll have to re-sync with the other nodes on reconnect, which -- in the worst case -- might mean syncing almost everything.
