The Solution:

Configure machines using scripts:

1- Setup the future replica as a client

root_master# nisclient -c fut-replica
fut-replica# nisclient -i -h
fut-replica# reboot

2- ...after reboot, setup as a replica

fut-replica# /usr/sbin/rpc.nisd
root_master# nisserver -R -d domain.com. -h fut-replica
