If you mean by realm to split servers into possibly overlapping set of 
realms each of which has separate set of principals (users and services)
and
users access servers through cross-realm authentication, I see no reason
it
doesn't work.

Ipfilter is so low level that it has no notion of user. It only
recognizes
protocol, ip and port. If a user (or users) could be bound to a specific
set of protocol, ip and port corresponding to an instance of service,
then access control might be possible. But I doubt doing this would
worth efforts.
