It seems that in this situation, ypbind "goes haywire" and starts flooding the network with broadcasts (actually RPC's to the MAC and IP broadcast address.) Each packet seems to be different (according to a sniffer) so I don't think there's a broadcast loop somewhere. Is there any way to atleast throttle this ? I'm using FreeBSD 4.1.1.
