We are getting ready to migrate from a single super server solution to a group

Freebsd?
I think that unless you have a legacy NIS server to support, LDAP is the
way to go. "LDAP system administration" from O'Reilly is a good book
that tells you how to migrate your users and groups to LDAP and even how
to migrate NIS to LDAP.

The book is more a practical guide on how to instead of getting lost in
technicalities and history.
