Yes, it's possible to promote a backup NIS server to be the master if the master 
NIS server goes down.  Normally, that level of failover doesn't need to happen: 
if you have a problem and the master goes down, the clone server stays up 
read-only while you fix the master.  You'd promote the backup/clone NIS server 
only if you couldn't fix or restore the master...
