Stop ypbind from broadcasting?


In Fedora Core 4, is there any way to keep ypbind from broadcasting for a NIS domain server? I explicitly specified both the NIS domain and the NIS domain server when I setup ypbind, but it still seems to want to broadcast all of the time.

The reason I ask is because I'm running ypbind at startup on a laptop, and the NIS domain may or may not be available at boot time. If it is available (i.e. I'm hardwired to my network), then it finds the NIS server and all is well. But whenever I'm not hooked up to my network, it obviously won't be able to find the NIS server. The problem is that it takes more than a minute of blindly broadcasting to find that out, which makes for a painfully long boot time.

Thanks
