Then you have still some time left :-)

Did you read about the difference between the realm and the (DNS) hostname? 
It would ease overview if you choose lowercase hostnames, and uppercase 
realms.

First off, i don't have much kerberos experience (also just did some 
testing, the system never went productive...).
I would care about the hostnames, and how they are resolved. As far as I 
experienced you need a running DNS for resolving hostname of the KDC and 
the client, and you have to take the fqdn (either in keytab file and also 
for principals)
