I don't know how widespread the practice is, but in the AFS Admin Guide under "Configuring Your AFS Filespace" / "The Second (Cellname) Level" it suggests creating symlinks in /afs to provide aliases for cells. For instance, in my test cell, I've got:
[root@host135 root]# ls -l /afs total 0 lrwxr-xr-x 1 4077 root 20 Feb 7 2002 cambridge -> cambridge.redhat.com drw-r--r-- 1 4077 root 11 Feb 7 2002 cambridge.redhat.com drw-r--r-- 1 4077 root 29 Mar 27 2002 grand.central.org
Unfortunately, the above command causes cambridge.redhat.com to be mounted with the follow_link() on directory method you suggested (which is undesirable):-/
