Hi Simon

Are there any guidelines around the round-robin DNS load balancer
support. I went through the changelog and the history but could not
find any details. Is there anything more to it than using
GSSAPIStrictAcceptCheck along with a properly configured keytab file
on the systems behind the load balancer (what I've been doing so far).
Any details will be very helpful. Thanks.

Borislav
