   The answer to Jeff's problem is to require that the response to a
   request from kerberos for a ticket with a different internet address
   come back encrypted in the users secret key instead of the session
   key.  As such, the user would be required to type in his password
   again.  

Instead of doing that, why not modify Kerberos so that you can ask for a
Ticket Granting Ticket for any arbitrary internet address?  Or is that
what you're suggesting already?  (Your mention of "instead of the
session key" leads me to assume that that's not what you intended.)
