I havenıt seen this idea posted anywhere.  The new version of OpenLDAP (Iım
using 2.4.15) has the ability to run in a multi-master mode.  I was able to
set up two servers that each ran a Kerberos instance as well as an OpenLDAP
instance that had ldap and kerberos failover.  I now donıt need to worry
about doing any sync with Kerberos, as LDAP does it all. I can also run
kadmin against either of the kerberos servers. Some tests I did that were
pretty successful were:

Realm setup:
  kdc = kdc01.security.lab.comcast.net:88
  kdc = kdc02.security.lab.comcast.net:88

Turn off kdc on kdc01 -> successfully authenticated with kdc02
Turn on kdc but turn off ldap on kdc01 -> successfully authenticated with
kdc02

The failover works exactly as a expected.
