We're looking to implement redundant KDCs and are wondering what methods
or products exist which allow two Master KDCs to run, for the same domain,
in a situation where if one fails, the other can continue to run and
provide 100% functionality of the other - INCLUDING update the passwd and
other databases.

Is there any way to do this, or is this something which Kerberos was
never designed to support ?

thanks,
darren
