Try automount (8)?

http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Automount.html

Create a new file named /etc/autofs.system:
mount_point	-fstype=net_fstype    server_name:/mount_point
mount_point	-fstype=fstype		  :/dev/<device_node>

Now, add the following line to the /etc/auto.master file:
/autofs         /etc/auto.system        --timeout=60

Now activate the autofs service and start it.
Once you access /autofs/<mount_point> the kernel will mount it.
If no-one uses this mount point for more then 60 seconds, the kernel
will unmount it.
