validating keytab files: Cannot find KDC for requested realm whilegetting initial credentials

[Frank Balluffi]

I am able to validate (test) keytab files for service1/host1.us.foo.com at FOO.COM and service2/host2.us.foo.com at FOO.COM using the command "kinit -5 -k -t keytab-file service-principal" from host1.us.foo.com, but when I try to validate a keytab file for service3/host3.au.foo.com at FOO.COM from host1.us.foo.com I get the following error:

kinit(v5): Cannot find KDC for requested realm while getting initial credentials

krb5.conf says:

[realms]
    FOO.COM = {
        kdc = ...foo.com:88
        ...
   }

[domain_realm]
    .foo.com = FOO.COM

Is this behavior expected? Do I need to be "on" a host in .au.foo.com to validate a keytab for service3/host3.au.foo.com at FOO.COM? Thanks.

Frank
