Actually, the clients are not necessarily using vmware, just
the vmnet interface and a bridge to fxp0 or xl0. I suspect
there is a problem with nis and bridges...

ok... Does that matter? Isn't it the client failing?
How can I debug this? I really need to get it fixed. running
natd and private nets for vmware on every system isn't really
an option (well, I can cope, but I'd rather not...)
