There's no such thing as a broadcast packet on a point-to-point link. You either hand it to the unique peer, or you don't. Nobody else is listening on the wire. We are using NIS and this is more automatic and robust if the remote system can send and receive broadcasts. Try making the remote system a slave server, rather than a client. That way, the master server will explicitly yppush the NIS maps to the slave server(s) whenever the maps are updated.
