autofs NFS auto failover

OS: Ubuntu 24.04
My file server has two iface. One is 10G the other is 1G.
I'd like to setup autofs to try the 10G interface first then then 1G interface if it fails.
My auto.master has "/- auto.home"
The closest I found in auto.home was:
/mountpoint -fstype=nfs,rw,sync 192.168.10.1,192.168.1.1:/export
but this seems to always use the second address.
chatgpt said to try
/mountpoint -fstype=nfs,rw,sync 192.168.10.1:/export;192.168.1.1:/export
but this does not work at all.
Another suggestion was to use DNS
192.168.10.1 host
192.168.1.1 host
but then it affects all services. for example if someone tries to ssh to host, it takes forever to fail
