The '-S' option of ypbind will do this. Also remember that the structure of the network is important, though. A client is always going to bind to a server on the LAN. If the master is not on the LAN, you don't have anything to worry about (unless there is no slave server either ;). > In Solaris ypinit has a -c option to create such an ordered list of NIS > servers to use , but FreeBSD does not support this feature. I'm not sure what this means. The clients don't run ypinit, so how could it effect what server they bind to? -- Crist J.
