It's the way that we have our production realms at Stanford configured and
have for quite some time. For large sites, I'm a big advocate of running
both AD and UNIX KDCs with cross-realm trust and making them
interchangeable from the user perspective. It gives you lots of useful
flexibility in deploying applications.
