Yes, we use NIS extensively. It makes my life much simpler. There is
a lot of folklore with the system, but it can be made to run with
few problems. I also have 7 subnets of Apollos that use registries.
I find the NIS system easier to maintain, but I like the administration
side of NCS better.

Over 2000 Unix workstations. I can't be any more specific than that.

Over 50 subnets spread across several buildings in the city.

We have two domains. One domain, BNROTTAWA has over 90 slaves and 1 master.
Some work was required to structure this so that the master wouldn't
overload and self-destruct. The second domain has one master and approx 10 slaves.
The master gets the majority of its data directly from the BNROTTAWA master.
