Perhaps that's a feature request then, at least for the LDAP-backed versions:

 - next -r to point to individual krbRealmContainer, have -R to point to a krbContainer containing a dynamic set
 - as part of [realms] specifying (with $REALM in various places) a generic pattern for realms, and resolving this dynamically
 - load domain, KDC, adminserver etc. from LDAP

Since you don't sound as if this would be tasteless conduct -- does it sound to you like a k5wiki-style "Project", or is it a "Welcome Patch"?

…sounds a no-go area for long-term stability, but thanks.

A bit awkward, but less problematic, since that is internal stuff -- where IP's are not in such tight supply.  Yes, IPv6, I know :-)

Thanks,
