Each Realm must have it's own KDC?

Thanks much. I would seem as that as well, but I don't know of any
documentation on the subject. As I said, I read the docs provided,
unless I'm missing some pages the implementation of such a thing seems
spartan. 

I'm going to take sunday and see what I can get out of it as well as
re-reading all docs. As part of this, should I have to create multiple
DB's to accomplish this? If you know? (i.e. kdb5_util create -s -r
SOMEOTHERREALM.ORG -d
/var/kerberos/krb5kdc/principal.SOMEOTHERREALM.ORG)

If not, thanks anyway!
