Avoiding Broadcasts

The ypbind daemon can be configured to try connecting to a list of servers before broadcasting. The server list is a list of internet addresses, one per line, in the /var/yp/binding/domainname/ypservers file. For example, if the domain wiz.com has servers at 10.5.1.1 and 10.5.1.2 that should be tried before broadcasting, the file /var/yp/binding/wiz.com/ypservers would contain the following entries:

10.5.1.1
10.5.1.2
