NIS client configuration

[Qcheck]

We have setup NIS environment with master and slave on 10.2 subnet, which are on AIX O/S.

I have almost 10 HPUX clients. With master NIS, everything works on my both same subnet and different subnet as I specified the ipaddress of the master in my different subnet's configuration file(/etc/rc.config.d/namesvrs).

My question is, when my master is down, my 10.4 and 10.5 subnet HPUX servers doesn't bind with the slave. And I understand it doesn't work as I hard coded in the /etc/rc.config.d/namesvrs file. I entered both ipaddresses in the /etc/rc.config.d/namesvrs file, but it only takes the last ipaddress in the file.

Can anyone know what is the solution other than having configured slave server on each subnet?

On linux in works. But that configuration file(ypbind) doesn't need to hard code the ipaddress. Just -ypset makes it all work on different subnets. I hope there must be a way in HPUX too, which I am not aware of.

Please help me.....
