One doesn't :-(. What I normally do is I disconnect the NI-stuff
from the hierarchy and start using DNS.
What you may want to read is chapter 10 (Incorporating a NeXT Computer
into a Mixed Network) from NeXT Network and System Administration. Available
on paper back and probably on your system disk as well.
Man-pages on niload and nidump might help too. Honestly, I never remember
how to do it so I just improvise and create a local NI hierarchy and
use DNS for name resolution.
The chapter did mention NIS (yp) so that *might* be an option.
