Due to various rasons we want to ensure the slaves are used by clients in preference to the master server which we basically want to use to merely update the slaves. Is there any way I can stipulate clients to use various slaves rather than the master? In Solaris ypinit has a -c option to create such an ordered list of NIS servers to use , but FreeBSD does not support this feature. -- Didds To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
