Hi!
If I understood well your requirement...

Sounds like if you didn't modify your
/etc/nsswitch.conf file...

on my box, this line is:

hosts: nisplus dns files

so, the resolver order is: nis, dns and finally hosts!

depending of your others machines, you could change it.

for example:
hosts: files dns nisplus

or...

hosts: dns files nisplus
