This makes sense to me, and it also (I think) solves another problem Iâve run into that Iâve dubbed âccache poisoining.â If a client receives an inaccurate referral and caches it, the cached referral can prevent the client from following an available successful path for a different service ticket later on. Of course, the incorrect referral is the root problem, but these things happen in complex multi-platform/realm arrangements, so itâs nice to contain the breakage.
