Stop NIS from broadcasting? How?

Can I stop NIS from boardcasting? Basically I just need to connect a
Linux server and a SUN Solaris WS. The /home is on the Linux Server
so the Solaris needs to connect to the server with NIS and NFS. The
thing is that I don't want it to boardcast and generate all kinds of
traffics that conflict with our existing network environment,
especially our network admin is so picky about it. The Linux server
(NIS) has two network card, one connects to SUN Solaris WS and the
other connects to our company's LAN so we can access the Internet.

Any ideas that I can be sure my Linux Server and Solaris WS won't
boardcast all the way to our company's network LAN? Thank you.

Configure it to use a particular server. ypbind will broadcast when it
needs to find a server to use.

It seems awfully, um, awful to use a Linux machine to host NFS when a
Sun box (or any *nix box) does NFS much better than Linux. Or so I've
heard.
