My company has the following situation:

We have one large DNS domain sgi.nl and we are planning on creating three realms:

SGI.NL
A.SGI.NL
B.SGI.NL

When configuraing my kerberos clientes there is a [domains_realm] tab where should put my domains to realm maps.

Yes, this is where the mapping goes. But if machines in one DNS domain are being mapped to three realms, you're going to have to list each machine individually instead of simply mapping the entire domain:

  [domain_realm]
      host1.sgi.nl = SGL.NL
      host2.sgi.nl = A.SGI.NL
      host3.sgi.nl = B.SGI.NL

Or, rather, you could make one realm the default and just list all of the machine in the other realms:

  [domain_realm]
      .sgi.nl = SGI.NL
      host2.sgi.nl = A.SGI.NL
      host3.sgi.nl = B.SGI.NL

Either way, this will be a bit of a headache if/when you add new machines not in the default realm, as you'll need to update all the config files.

There is also an option "dns_lookup_realm" in the "libdefaults" section of the config file which, if turned on, will cause a DNS TXT record _kerberos.<FQDN> to be checked and, if it's found, the result used as the realm name for the host <FQDN>. However, this option is turned off by default as it introduces a security risk.
