@subsection Using DNS to map hostname to Kerberos realm
Heimdal also support a way to lookup realm from a hostname. This to
minimize configuration needed on clients. Using this have the backdraw
that clients can be redirect by an attacker to realms within the same
cross realm trust and made belive they talk to the right server (since
kerberos authentication will succeed).
Example configuration that informs clients that for the realms
it.example.com and srv.example.com, they should use the realm
EXAMPLE.COM.
@example
$ORIGIN example.com.
_kerberos.it TXT "EXAMPLE.COM"
_kerberos.srv TXT "EXAMPLE.COM"
