This error tends to happen pretty frequently in practice.  Usually  
it's due to a config file mess-up and the code's trying to access a  
non-existent realm.  It sounds like it's a network problem though.

I suggest you include the intended realm in the message.  I think  
that would get people pointed at the real problem more directly.   
Something like:

kinit(v5): Cannot resolve network address for KDC in realm [REALM]  
while getting initial credentials
