Part V Active Directory Naming Service
Typically, NIS clients are configured with the nsswitch.conf file to use only NIS for machine name and address lookups. If this type of lookup fails, an NIS server can forward these lookups to DNS.

makedbm will now start with the -b flag when it makes the maps, and the YP_INTERDOMAIN key will be inserted into the ndbm files.
# /usr/ccs/bin/make hosts
Note - If you have NIS servers that are not running Solaris, Release 2, make sure YP_INTERDOMAIN exists in the hosts maps.
# svcadm restart network/nis/server:<instance>
In this implementation of NIS, ypserv automatically starts with the -d option to forward requests to DNS.
If the master and slave servers are not both running Solaris 2, refer to the following table for how to avoid potential problems. The notation “4.0.3+” refers to that and later releases. makedm -b is a reference to the “B” variable in the Makefile.
