Hello !

Thank you for every one who gave me some information:

The answer is:

NO, it is not possible to be a Server of a NIS+ Subdomain and at this server machine a client of this
subdomain( instead of a client of the parent domain).

I got an usefull answer from a SUN engineer:

------------------------

Fixing this deficiency in NIS+ is viewed as one of the highest priority
improvements to be made in NIS+. As I'm not one of the engineers who works on
that project I can't say when it might be done, but you can be assured that your
customer is not the only one who wants this restriction removed.

---------------------

After some work a found a solution:

I have tried to change the Servers Client information from the parent domain to the subdomain
,which it serves, but that did not work.

After that I made a replica server to this subdomain, and this replica server can be changed
after normal setup do be a client of this subdomain with running "nisclient" again.

At the beginning this had some problems, but now it works.

But this is configuration is not supported by SUN.
