What does the "ypwhich" command print?

Is that all? Here it says:
# rpcinfo -p
program vers proto port
100000 2 tcp 111 portmapper
100000 2 udp 111 portmapper
100004 1 udp 1015 ypserv
100004 2 udp 1015 ypserv
100004 1 tcp 1023 ypserv
100004 2 tcp 1023 ypserv
100007 2 udp 1001 ypbind
100007 2 tcp 1021 ypbind
Note that all of my NIS clients are also NIS slave servers
and bind to themselves. That's why ypserv appears above,
too. The advantage is that the clients are mostly immune
against server problems (downtime), because each client
keeps a local copy of the maps. It also keeps network
traffic down. Only when something changes on the master,
the changes are pushed to all slaves (i.e. to all clients).
