There is some discussion of this issue in the neon list archive; the 
issue is AIUI that mod_auth_kerb *does* canonicalize the hostname but 
neon does not.  neon doesn't canonicalize the server hostname in general 
because doing so would break name-based vhosting; I guess it could do so 
solely for use in the Kerberos principal, but that seems a bit dubious.
