NFS over on-demand SSH tunnel ... how to?
Does anyone know how to do this? I can use autofs to create an on-demand NFS mount over SSH, but that doesn't make the SSH tunnel itself start on demand, and I can't keep it reliably running 24/7.

In solving a somewhat similar problem, I used rsync, which allows you to supply at private key file for authorization. If you don't passphrase the private key, you can establish SSH tunnels without user interaction, maybe by utilizing a dummy account.
You might be able to adapt the solution found here:
HOWTO
Looks like you can specify a key file, so that might work for you.

I have authorized key files already set up. But I need the SSH tunnel to automatically start up when I go to the target directory.

Look up "executable map". Basically write script, which in your case should check if a tunnel is established, and if not, starts up SSH and spits out the location to mount on stdout given the mountpoint as a parameter.
