It seemes that the DNS queries will be done by the NIS masters
and not by the stations itself. That was not wat I expected.
The RTFM did reference this in a oneliner which slipped by my attention.
(In fact, page 500 of the 4.1.1 Sys&Net Adm guide pointed to this direction)
I thought that if NIS failed, the client itself does the query itself instead
of the servers.
When I runned ypset <goodnisserver> all went OK.
My resolv.conf files were all OK, but it was bogus on the
other slave server. I installed a correct one, rerunned ypserv on that slave
and the problem disappeared.
