Do the different NICs have different host names Although I have never done this on FreeBSD, I have accomplished this same thing on solaris. Please NOTE: I am only babbling theory as I have never done this on FreeBSD. The trick is making sure that the different nics are on truely different networks and have different hostnames. example hosts: 192.168.1.1 firstnic.mydomain.com 192.168.2.1 secondnic.mydomain.com /var/yp/ypservers on server machine: firstnic.mydomain.com secondnic.mydomain.com Your server must have a server to bind to, even if it is itself so pick one in /etc/rc.conf on the server: nisdomainname="mydomain.com" nis_server_enable="YES" nis_yppasswdd_enable="YES" nis_yppasswdd_flags="-t /var/yp/master.passwd -v" nis_client_enable="YES" nis_client_flags="-S mydomain.com,firstnic.mydomain.com" Then for clients you simply bind them to the appropriate NIC using the ypbind in /etc/rc.conf like: nisdomainname="mydomain.com" nis_client_enable="YES" nis_client_flags="-S mydomain.com,firstnic.mydomain.com" # OR Depending on the network of the client #nis_client_flags="-S mydomain.com,secondnic.mydomain.com" Hope this helps.
