This may help if you have this issue with ypbind trying to start and the network not up yet:

Use IP addreses in /etc/yp.conf

for example:

domain your_nis_domain server 10.10.123.123

If the network is not up, ypbind starts and cannot reslove the hostname in yp.conf and dies.
If you supply an IP address it will start and bind when the network is up.
