Sounds like you want a symbolic link to me,

Code:

ln -s /path/to/original/dir /path/to/linkname

see man "ln"..

Permanent link

#mount --bind /source /destination

#vi /etc/fstab

/source /destination ext3 rw,bind 0 0

#mount -a -To save the mount

Symlinks could be flushed offed when the system get rebooted .So make a permanent mount of the directory.

Unless the link is placed in a temporary fs (such as /dev) I dont see how?

Agreed; symlinks are stored as files on disk...
