replica server affect on NFS server response

I have a Sun Ultra5 Solaris 7 Nis+ Master Server on subnet 64 at an off
site location. I also have a similar Nis+ Replica server on subnet 50 at
my site. I then built a SUSE 9.3 NFS data server running NIS Utils on
subnet 222 at the same site as the replica. When I try to change the IP
of the Replica to sunbnet 50, the same as the data server the NFS
service grinds to a halt. I demoted the replica server to a client and
then changed the IP. I edited hosts.org_dir and the local hosts and
hostname.le0 on the replica. I had to change the IP of the replica back
to the 50 subnet although I didn't make it a replica server before the
NFS pages were served correctly again. I have to web servers on subnet
222 and were only affected because they couldn't mount nfs shares.

Why would the data server hold any kind of association with the replica
server? Also where would this information be held?
