Is this the thing where kpropd always uses exactly the hostname you have
listed and doesn't do any DNS canonicalization?  If so, I've run into that
before and I think I just put keys for all of the principals that could be
formed from all the possible replica names in the keytab file for the
replicas and my recollection is that worked, although it's been a few
years.

Right, yeah, that.  Similar to what we had to do with LDAP servers.
