As usual, there were a bunch of responses to my query. _AND_ I found Syd's
earlier mail describing the problem and solution.
To quote Fabrice Guerni's response:
Hostnames are constructed by the solver daemon by stripping the first
component of the NIS domain. So, if your NIS domain is "yp.pei.com",
then host "foo" will appear as "foo.pei.com." But if your NIS domain
is "pei.com," host "foo" will appear to SunSolve as "foo.com" ! To
circumvent it you could create an alias "foo.com" but I think Sun
came up with a patch for this.
