Don,
If you are on AIX 4.3, you can use the /etc/irs.conf file that servers the same
purpose on AIX as /etc/nsswitch.conf on Solaris or any other BSD-ish system. In
the file you can specify the search order for resolving hosts, networks,
services, protocols, netgroups, etc.
For instance, in your case it might look like this:

     hosts nis
     services local
     netgroup nis
     networks local

For hosts, the setting in the netsvc.conf file overrides that in the irs.conf
file. For more info, please, read manual for irs.conf.
On Solaris, use /etc/nsswitch.conf file as I mentioned above.

Hope this helps,
Best regards,
Vladimir.
