This WAY predated iOS! (the proxy was for the Kerberos 4 protocol) But
I can say with certainty that the MacOS X Kerberos libraries (based on
Heimdal) will default to UDP in many cases.  And on MacOS X you can run
into a case where you might be using a different Kerberos implementation
than the operating system libraries.
