3/3     If I change my nis client to have a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0
        from 255.255.255.0, it can no longer connect (broadcast mode)
        to the nisserver with netmask of 255.255.255.0.  Would I have the
        same problem in reverse?  (i.e. if I changed the subnetmask of my
        NIS SERVER to be 255.255.0.0, would clients with netmasks of
        255.255.255.0 not be able to connect?)

        \_ You need to learn about broadcast domains and VLANs. The short
           answer is yes, probably. -ausman
