Currently, it listens on all UDP addresses found on non-loopback  
interfaces (one socket per address, so replies come from the right  
address, with the drawback that new addresses added after the KDC  
starts won't be used), and uses a wildcard address for the TCP  
listener.  We've gotten patches for allowing the config file to  
specify a set of addresses to listen on, and for using IP/ 
IPV6_PKTINFO interfaces to allow the use of a pair of UDP sockets for  
all addresses, but at this point I think 1.5 will ship before I get a  
chance to review them and update them to apply to all the programs we  
run on our KDCs and get them integrated... they're definitely on my  
list, but there's more urgent stuff above them....
