This option is only available, if

broadcast
If no other server is given or all of them are not reachable,
try a broadcast call for the default domain to find a server.
If for a specific domain the broadcast option and fixed server are given,
ypbind-mt
tries at first the given servers before falling back to broadcasting
for a running server.
