I get the following message when I run "kinit -k -t my.keytab":

kinit(v5): Cannot find KDC for requested realm while getting initial credentials

It works fine if I just do "kinit my_user". I did a tcpdump and noticed
that when I try to use the keytab, kinit seems to look for
_kerberos._udp.LOCALDOMAIN and _kerberos._tcp.LOCALDOMAIN.  But,
when I don't use the keytab, it queries my kerberos server,
kerberos.mydomain.bogus.  How do I alter this behavior?  Thanks for
any tips.

If you're using a keytab file and not specifying a principal name, the kinit program will attempt to use the "host" service principal for the local host, and will try to figure out the canonical FQDN of the host in the process (and then the realm, based on that hostname). I'm guessing it's coming up with "LOCALDOMAIN" when it tries to do that step. Check your network configuration....
