I was annoyed enough with the problem to want to share it... A machine on net A can bind to ypserv on net B if the client's broadcast address is changed to that of net B. It can then be left or put back, although if put back to the A-cast the binding may get marked bad if the ypbind can't communicate with the ypserv (just write a daemon that checks the binding every few minutes and swaps the broadcast addr for a while if the binding's bad). In our case we just leave the broadcast set to B-cast since the machine is an effective net-B peer except for net-membership.
