When kerberos becomes widely available, the krb.realms file will quickly
become as unmanageable as hosts.txt is now. I propose that a new DNS
resource record be created called "KS" with the same syntax as NS records.
Comments?
There already exist records denoting AFS cell roots. I believe this has been
extended by the OSF to record DCE cell roots (which include the Kerberos realm).
I will check with the OSF to see if this (existing) record would be appropriate
for use by generic Kerberos implementations.
