Dear list members,

i have reading Makefiles for building nis databases and realized there
is an option "-b" for allowing hostnames to be retrieved from DNS.

Correct me if i am wrong but i understand all hostname spaces are made
available for each of the nis domains one is managing after enabling
such option. After managing to have yp lookuing up hostnames on DNS
what would it be the rationale behind using netgroups for managing
hostnames after they all have been made available through DNS usage.

Thanks in advance.
