Sorry, I don't quite understand your instructions: what is an m/c?
If I do:
root# ypcat hosts |grep belize
(belize being the nickname of one of my machines)
i get the _old_ ip address.
What I understand from 'man ypcat' is that NIS keeps a database of hosts in
/var/yp.
It seems to be in a binary format. How do I make changes to this database?

So, this means that the hosts-information is first read from local /etc/hosts
file and then from the NIS database, right? I could make things go right if I
just changed everything correct in client's hosts files, but it would be
easier to maintain a single database.
