Multi-domain binding feature #6

Closed IronforgeV closed 1 year ago

IronforgeV commented 1 year ago

Hi, Can you please provide documentation on how the multidomain binding feature works? Does it mean what I think it does? that we can bind to 

nis.domain-1
nis.domain-2
...

at the same time?

Thanks

Please define we. ypbind can provide the name of the NIS master for several different domains. How it works is simple: the client library/application sends a NIS domainname to ypbind and get's back the NIS master for this domain, look at the ypbind protocol.

If your question is, how you can configure your client library/application to use multiple domains: I don't know. This depends on your software and you need to look at that documentation, this has nothing to do with ypbind. E.g. glibc is using yp_get_default_domain() to get the NIS domainname and thus can only support one NIS domain.
