probably broadcast mode:

       -broadcast
              Send  a broadcast to request the information needed
              to bind to a specific NIS server. With this option,
              /etc/yp.conf will be ignored.

back when I ran NIS though I preferred to put the ips of the servers
in yp.conf. Unless your slave servers change often, mine were always
the same address
