[ale] another NIS question

[matthew at nas.nasa.gov (Matthew Avery)]

We have four workstations all cross-mounted to one another.
Right now we are not running NIS so if you change your 
password you have to do it manually on all four machines.
We have the users divided among the workstations so I'm 
wondering if we can run NIS and have each machine be 
client and server with each machine containing the users
on its local drive.  Can I do this and is it a good idea?

Thanks,

-Matt-
