Is there a way to configure a client running AIX 5.3 to use an NIS server that is on a different network segment?

Do you mean a different subnet?
If so then you can make updates to the /etc/rc.nfs file.
Look for the line ypbind
if [ -x /usr/lib/netsvc/yp/ypbind ]
then
start ypbind /usr/lib/netsvc/yp/ypbind
fi
REPLACE IT WITH
if [ -x /usr/lib/netsvc/yp/ypbind ]
then
startsrc -s "ypbind" -a "-ypset"
sleep 10
/usr/bin/ypset {NIS server name}
fi
I used have this solution in AIX4 and I see no reason why it would not work in AIX5.

Thanks for the info! I will give that a try as soon as I get a chance.
