 i have done this... lets look at things one at a time.

 Here you should be able to start amd. I use flags like this:

 amdflags="-r -n -y ferguson -l syslog /ump amd.ump"
 
 where -y sets your domain -l sets the type of logging and most
 importantly... amd.ump sets the file. DO NOT put a leading / on that
 filename and amd will use the yp version of the map.

> nis_clientflags="NO"

 You should be able to start yp here.  If you are having to comment it
 out ...  that is a YP issue that I have not run into...  I tend to
 use -ypsetme so that I am hard bound to a specific server.  I do that
 because generally the NFS server is the YP server and if they loose
 the primary YP server, they have lost either home or /usr/local/ in
 any case.

 Interesting map.. I do somthing a bit more falmboyant but this reads
 a bit easier. I also use somthing called /ump which is Universal
 Mount Point which was introduced at NASA Langely. 

 (http://ice-www.larc.nasa.gov/LCUC/papers/ump.ps)

defaults        opts:=rw,soft,time0=10,retrans=5
# Defaults for HQ Home Directories

hq              type:=auto;fs:=${map};pref:=${key}/

# Home Directories for HQ

hq/home                 type:=auto;fs:=${map};pref:=${key}/

# Defaults for garion

# Terry Chapman
hq/home/terry   \
  host==garion;type:=link;fs=/home/terry || \
  host!=garion;type:=nfs;rhost:=garion;rfs:=/home/terry;fs:=${autodir}/${key}

# Branson Matheson
hq/home/branson \
  host==garion;type:=link;fs=/home/branson || \
  host!=garion;type:=nfs;rhost:=garion;rfs:=/home/branson;fs:=${autodir}/${key}


# /usr/local
hq/local \       
arch==hp9000s800;type:=nfs;rhost:=polgara;rfs:=/usr/local;fs:=${autodir}/${key}  
|| \
arch==i386;type:=nfs;rhost:=garion;rfs:=/usr/local;fs:=${autodir}/${key}

 I have some scripts that can convert this to a ypmap if you are
interested and also allow you to keep this in a hierarchial format and
compile the final amd.ump.
