[Bug 993259] Re: ypbind does not start on boot

[KrautOS]

After some more testing, it's definitely a DNS issue on probably early
boot stages without network. So there are two ways to workaround:

1.  Only use IP addresses in /etc/yp.conf
2. Add your NIS server to /etc/hosts

I am using the later one on Ubuntu 14.04.

But i still don't why ypbind will skips if it can't resolve the server
name, but keeps on running when it probably can't connect the server
yet? And no i don't want to have static IPs in all clients as i quite
trust my DHCP servers and i always prefer FQDN for network migrations.
