I'm pretty sure it hasn't given that the Solaris NIS+ implementation
(at least as of 2.6) actually embeded both the port and the IP address
of the call back TCP port when making requests for large tables.
I'm pretty sure it did this due to the fact that they were too lazy to
select the sending IP. The really painful thing is that the IP port
pair is encoded in ascii as dotted sextuples (123.124.125.126.32.98 =
123.124.125.126:8290).
