I remember in the pre-Solaris 8 days we would always have a nis slave

Build a slave that binds to itself and gets updates from the master
pushed to it using cron and ypxfer.
I think I might be doing this too. Seems a shame to have a Sun box as a NIS slave (among other things) and a Linux client on a gigabit network all by themselves.
