Folks - I finally found the solution. Apparently an old map file that contained the old server name was still in the /var/yp/<NISDOMAIN> directory on the master server. There were quite a few map files with similar names, so I'd missed it previously and I hadn't been the one who made the earlier change so didn't realize that the map hadn't been deleted. Plus the raw text file for it was gone, so I assumed there weren't any additional references. Removing that map file fixed the problem. Thanks anyway to Mike Salehi, Tom Crummey, Siva Santhakumar, James Scott and Richard (only two Out of Office replies that time! Amazing!!).
