As Dean said, trying to have Hesiod return different information to
different machines goes against the basic idea. A nameservice is
supposed to unify the namespace across a set of machines, not make it
different.
If you want to have the directories be in different places on a few
machines, I would suggest putting in "compatibility" symlinks between
the usual place and the exception so that you can always find the
directory through one path.
