First, you should try if "files nis" fixes the problem.

You could have two nsswitch files.

Modify the startup scripts so that "files nis" are used first during
boot, and modify /etc/init.d/ypbind so that nsswitch.conf is overwritten
with a "nis files" version after NIS has been started.

But this is a hack. I would always have "files nis".
