sharing /usr/local and NIS server and client

I have two sun v880 with solaris 9 one is nis server and other nis client . The nis master sharing /usr/local with nis client. I need that one sun will be backup from other, if one stop working other continuos. What is que best practice for to do this, stop de nis service and copy /usr/local of one to other? Change nis client to nis slave? I don't have experience with solaris.

Do you only have 2 machines total?

You discuss two separate services: NIS and filesharing.

For NIS, all that is required is that you set up a slave. The slave continues to serve data (but not update it) while the master is down.

Sharing /usr/local is different. If it's just these 2 machines, instead of NFS I might set up rsync to copy the data over periodically.
