Re: Odd NIS Behavior Following Failure of Slave Server

I have three NIS slaves across three different subnets, each running
Solaris (server1, server2, server3, for ease). I have a number of AIX
5.2 TL7 through TL9 NIS clients that point to these slaves through
their /var/yp/binding/$DOMAIN/ypserves files, with server1 taking
precedence. They are served maps for passwd, group, hosts, and
automounter functions.

Recently, we had a power loss that took down server1. All of the AIX
clients successfully bound to server2 or server3 without problems
after the 60-second timeout we had in place.

When you say you have it configured to unbind and rebind to
a different server after a 60 second timeout, what did you do
to configure this behavior?

It could explain much...
