Not that I love Roman numerals or anything, but just in case anyone 
actually starts writing code for this, I thought I should point out 
that "kerberos4" is the wrong service name.  From 
<http://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers>:

kerberos-iv     750/udp    kerberos version iv


So shouldn't the above example be using:

_kerberos-iv._udp.example.com. ?
