Well... it can.. what you *Should* do is put a slave on the other
side of the gateway and ypset(8) it to the master. But you can also
ypset a client to the master on the other side of the gateway. The
problem here is that if the master goes down, the slave will try to
rebind on it's subnet and will not be able to. I would suggest
running a slave on the other side. That way if the master does go
down.. the clients on that subnet will still be bound to the slave.
