Hmph. Changing the term based on usage... Well, lets see:
bradley:~# ypbind -d
parsing config file
Trying entry: domain mycompany.com server bradley.west.mycompany.com
parsed domain 'mycompany.com' server 'bradley.west.mycompany.com'
add_server() domain: mycompany.com, host: bradley.west.mycompany.com,
nobroadcast, slot: 0
[Welcome to ypbind-mt, version 1.7]
ping host 'bradley.west.mycompany.com', domain 'mycompany.com'
ypbindproc_domain_2_svc (mycompany.com)
trylock = success
ping host 'bradley.west.mycompany.com', domain 'mycompany.com'
Status: YPBIND_FAIL_VAL
ypbindproc_domain_2_svc (mycompany.com)
trylock = success
ping host 'bradley.west.mycompany.com', domain 'mycompany.com'
Status: YPBIND_FAIL_VAL
Pinging all active server.
ping host 'bradley.west.mycompany.com', domain 'mycompany.com'
Pinging all active server.
Looks like progress, but ypwhich still says "can't yp_bind: Reason:
Domain not bound". And ypserv continues to show nothing beyond the
startup stuff in its debug output.
I also doublechecked /etc/hosts and the machine is able to ping both
of the addresses it lists there. (It's a dual-NIC server. One address
is on the name bradley.west and the other is bradley.east, so there
shouldn't be any confusion there.)

Good thing to know.

Dunno how much further there is to go, but at least it _feels_ like
we're getting somewhere.
