We are currently using Yellow Pages in our development environment.  We have 10
HP 9000/300s (HP-UX 6.5) on the net and have experienced no major difficulties.
The major caveat is that the YP Master and Slave servers should be the most
stable machines on the system - if they are all down the other machines
tend to lock up when they try to access a YP map.

Previously, I was responsible for 6 SUN 3/160s and have noticed no major
changes from SUN's YP.  The only major pain I have found
with the HP version is that /usr/lib/aliases is not included in their
implementation.

PC NFS is also more sane to use if you have YP.
