delay Option
............

   The delay, in seconds, before an attempt will be made to mount from
the current location.  Auxiliary data, such as network address, file
handles and so on are computed regardless of this value.

   A delay can be used to implement the notion of primary and secondary
file servers.  The secondary servers would have a delay of a few
seconds, thus giving the primary servers a chance to respond first.
