Hello Sean,

You can find the documentation here:
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/html-single/Linux_Domain_Identity_Authentication_and_Policy_Guide/index.html#automount

But I don't understand what is wrong with the setup. AFAIU NFS, shares 
must be mounted only on machines where you (admin) have full control and 
therefore ownership and access permissions can be enforced. Then ~/.ssh 
directory must have mode 0700 and all files inside it 0600.
If you obey these rules storing ssh keys on NFS share is no less secure 
than storing them locally.
