MIT Kerberos, Heimdal, and even Windows 2000 (IIRC) support looking up
Kerberos configuration information in DNS.  The host->realm mapping is
pretty simple, e.g.

  _kerberos.sub.domain.com.      IN TXT "MYREALM.COM"
  _kerberos.host.sub.domain.com. IN TXT "OTHERREALM.COM"

Look for the expired draft-ietf-cat-krb-dns-locate Internet draft.  A handy 
copy is in src/crypto/heimdal/doc/standardisation.
