I can't argue with Greg's analysis, but we found another way around the
problem, namely to put a YP slave server on the same subnet as the
clients.  The slave can download its maps from the master and the
clients' UDPs can then get to the slave directly.  We aren't doing this
currently - we moved the whole YP/NIS domain into the same subnet - and
we had some problems which may or may not have been related, but it
might be worth trying.
