I think it'd be a good idea to start running Kerberos servers for the
SIPB.MIT.EDU realm on reynelda and ronald-ann (after the ronald-ann
replacement). The main reason for this is that it's sometimes useful
to get Kerberos principals for various sipb purposes, and it's not
always either possible or appropriate to get these principals in the
ATHENA.MIT.EDU realm. I believe the only one we've used in the past is
phone-broadcast@SIPB.MIT.EDU, although one can imagine other
applications that could serve the outside community, um, differently
(Kerberos principals associated with archiving sipb mailing lists, for
example). I would envision this not being considered a "test" server,
although it could potentially be upgraded on occasion to run new code
that wasn't yet part of an official Kerberos release. Exercising the
V5 server code more would perhaps have the added advantage of
hastening the day when Kerberos V4 can be eradicated from the world.
Up until then, though, I'd expect we'd also want to run krb524d.
With both reynelda and ronald-ann running on Sparc 5's, I wouldn't
expect there'd be any significant resource contention with the AFS
server processes. Of course, we'd probably want to try generating a
lot of test traffic at first to confirm that that's the case.
