Systemd does not have any special handling for NFS – it will not query the
server at all; it will more or less just spawn the standard `mount` command
and let it handle the rest. If the hostname resolves to multiple addresses,
I assume that will be handled by nfs-utils' `mount.nfs` somehow.

(systemd .automount units only use autofs as the trigger for activating a
regular .mount, so everything is the same between e.g. fstab-mounted and
systemd-automounted filesystems.)
