Well, if you're using NIS, then DNS should not be an issue, unless your
resolver configuration is messed up. You might want to check your
/etc/nsswitch.conf file to see how your're resolving hosts. It should be
something like:
hosts: files nis dns
if you're using NIS and want that to be the primary resolution provider for
internal hosts.
