Tried it but no banana. Same result. The comments in that file say that the default is the host's DNS name, which is what I was using, against popular advice, for my NISDOMAIN.
What you said is a bit unclear...so just want to make sure....
You said... "host's DNS name". To me that could mean "fully qualified domain name". But, that isn't what it needs/wants. It wants only the "domain" part.
So, if your host names are aaa.foo.com and bbb.foo.com the entry in the file is foo.com
Yes, I'm specifying just the foo.com part. I'm running Bind, mostly just as a name-caching server. But I've also created an unpublished domain "eackloff.com" for my internal network. But thanks for asking for the clarification.

I found a reboot was necessary to ensure the change to /etc/idmapd.conf was valid
I think the man page lies about the default. force Domain = foo.com and reboot

I agree, you can't believe everything you read. But I left the Domain = in there and the machine has been restarted a couple of times. No change.
