You want the strangely named "ip" option to smbmount, autofs should just
pass all options you give it to smbmount as-is. Something like this in the
autofs map:

share -fstype=smbfs,credentials=/etc/.smb_auth,ip=10.10.0.220 ://srv/share
(autofs 3.1.7)

smbclient uses -I.


For some "servers" you must give a netbios name (win9x). For NT4+ it
should be ok with any name for "srv".
