Replacing NIS slave server and automount problem

Folks -

Our old NIS slave server died, so I setup a new one with a different
hostname and IP address. Of course I changed the ypservers NIS map
as well as the /var/yp/binding/<NISDOMAIN>/ypservers file, but the
automounter still wants to use the old NIS slave server whenever the
master is unavailable. What's even stranger is that ypwhich reports
that it's bound to the new NIS slave server.

The messages from the automounter are:
    automountd[244]: [ID 190415 daemon.error] servers server2 not responding: RPC: Timed out
    automountd[20285]: [ID 801593 daemon.error] auto_data: internal yp server or client error

where server2 is the hostname of the old NIS slave server.

Is there something else that I need to change? I've even re-run "ypinit -c"
on the system, but that didn't do anything to fix the behavior. The systems
in question are running Solaris 9, in case that matters. All of my other
(non-Solaris) systems have handled the change properly.

Thanks for any help,
Debbie
