Is it possible to have a machine belong to two NIS domains?
We have NIS masters for domain X and domain Y. Would like
have accounts for both X and Y active on some machine N.
I have the impression that this is fundamentally contrary to
how NIS.

1. Multiple NIS domains served from one NIS Master server?
I am trying to find documentation on how to setup a NIS Master server
that acts as the master server for multiple NIS Domains. I am not
sure if this is even possible in linux. We have setup this
environment in HP-UX in the past. However the ypinit command on HP-UX
allows you to specify the NIS domain if you do not want to use the
domain specified by the domainname command.
I want to setup an environment that has one NIS Master server that I
can administer all of my NIS domains from. I would then create a NIS
domain for each customer I support and create NIS slave servers on a
few of their servers. Each domain will have seperate NIS files. So a
seperate password, group, alias, etc...
I was able to create one NIS domain master server, however I have no
idea how I would add more NIS domains to that server.
