NIS client bindings

807559Dec 8 2003

I am working on configuring new NIS domain on my network. The master and slave servers work fine, but I need to find a solution for the clients that will switch to the next available slave server if the current one goes down. I cannot use ypbind -broadcast due to network security rules at my company. I see that the client will switch by itself but it takes about 30-60 seconds and during that time the sytem is really slow (even ps -ef hangs). Is there some kind of solution out there to jump to next available yp slave/master faster? I know Red Hat Linux ypbind does that without problems. I can't find anything like this for Solaris systems.

P.S.
I have Solaris 7, 8 and 9

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks
