Is there a plan and possibility in kadmin protocol to support multiple realms on one port (one kadmind)? I have a situation where I would have 14 relams. Fortunately, I'll have 10 Alpha Servers, but still, I'd need something elegant and scalable. The current solution both in Heimdal and MIT is lacking on that.

That range is a bit crammed...

Nix.
