Sure why not add NIS server, why stop there though lets add DNS too. Hey these things are so reliable, let's put a full blown kernel in there, and start running user apps as well. Anyone ever hear of a little box called Auspex??? I actually thought the concept of "dedicated" NFS appliance was
a
good one.
The difference is that DNS isn't really needed for NFS to function properly. However, NIS could be, depending on the circumstances. (It's similar to how CIFS really relies on WINS currently).
