Not to shoot you down, but I don't think you can do it that way directly from auto_home. We had a similar situation and ultimately just ended up listing the lower density of the two individually.
You can script the addition of entries into auto_home very easily, so this isn't a big deal other than having larger NIS maps (which is not really a big deal).
If anyone knows a better way to do this, please post it... Otherwise, I would say that is the way to go.
