Both master and slave servers must have "-i" in ypserv.options and they must
have a properly configured /usr/etc/resolv.conf that specifies the DNS
server address(es) and domain name. Note that the YP database is checked
before querying the name server.

In IRIX 3.3, you can bypass YP for all hostname lookups with a
"hostresorder" entry  line in /usr/etc/resolv.conf. See resolver(4)
and Ch. 8 in the new Network Communications guide for details.
