We operate three servers under Ultrix 4.1 at three location separated
by Wellfleet brouters, Chipcom modems, multi-port repeaters, etc. etc.

We have a YP password map that operates over our entire collection of
machines and worked well through all our gateway/network connections 
until we updated to Ultrix 4.1

Now we get:


Status received from ypxfr on holly:
        Failed - ypxfr had an RPC failure
Status received from ypxfr on orca:
        Failed - ypxfr had an RPC failure

Other maps make and push fine.

I have heard that YP was not supposed to work across gateways. Should
we be using BIND/Hesiod instead? It used to work. Can it be made to
work again?
