For MIT Kerberos the introduction of "master_kdc" says exactly that.  
There is in fact
a master and that master is more definitive.  That is how the clients 
already work when
it comes to AS requests.  Our proposal is to extend that behavior to TGS 
requests.

If there is no defined master, then there is no master to fallback to.
