NAME
     ypservers - NIS bindings file

SYNOPSIS
     /var/yp/binding/*/ypservers

DESCRIPTION
     The file /var/yp/binding/DOMAINNAME/ypservers contains a static list of
     available NIS servers for the domain DOMAINNAME.  If this file exists,
     then only the servers listed in it are eligible to act as NIS servers for
     this client.

     The file contains a whitespace separated list of host names or IP
     addresses.	 If a name is given then an entry for this host must exist in
     the local hosts file /etc/hosts.  An example file would be:

	  128.1.2.1
	  bigserver
	  192.0.1.1
	  150.166.2.3

     This file lists four hosts which can act as name servers for this system.
     NIS bind requests will be sent to each and the first respondent will be
     chosen and used until it fails to respond, and which time the client will
     rebind.  The current server for a host may be determined using the
     command ypwhich(1).
