What is the purpose of the kdb5_edit "set_dbname" command?  How is it used  
in the real world?

I understand what it does (it causes kdb5_edit to read/write to a  
different KRB database), but since theere is know way to change the  
current realm, the target database has to be associated with the same  
realm as the previous database.

What sort of real world environment would have multiple databases for the  
same realm?

Thanks,
