Is there a configurable timeout value that can be set in the krb5.conf to
tell a client how long to wait for a response from a KDC before failing
over to the next listed kdc entry for a specific REALM in the [realms]
section of the krb5.conf?

When looking at
http://web.mit.edu/kerberos/krb5-devel/doc/admin/conf_files/krb5_conf.html
there is no reference to "kdc_timeout" which I've seen previously mentioned
in oracle threads.

Is that kdc_timeout parameter only for sun/oracle's solaris SEAM
implementation of kerberos?

Or is only the java JGSS implementation recognizing this kdc_timeout value?

Or is kdc_timeout a missing parameter within the current (and previous)
krb5.conf documentation for the [libdefaults], and it is supported in the
1.10+ MIT kerberos releases?

Thanks in advance.
