Thanks to

Reggie Stuart
Mike Salehi
William Kuderka
Paul Kowalenko
Dfish

and especially to

William Hathaway
David Evans

who both came up with the correct answer, which was to stop ypbind,
run ypinit -c, then restart ypbind.

Note that this particular situation was exceptionally confusing because
the system WAS correctly binding to the correct domain. The problem was
that it was ALSO attempting to bind to another, incorrect domain.

Once again, this list comes through in record time. See original
question below.
