For password changes? I would have expected that to be:

   _kpasswd._udp

... although the kpasswd5 service is also available on tcp port 464. In 
contrast, the kerberos-adm service is on tcp port 749.

That would be great! This particular RR is mentioned in more than a few 
publications and its availability will make it unnecessary to maintain 
any server references in /etc/krb5.conf at all.

Thanks, Greg!
