My understanding is that the process for determining what service principal to obtain for a server involves doing gethostbyaddr( gethostbyname() ). That is, find the IP for the given host, and then find the name associated with that IP. Then ask the KDC for a ticket for host/name.

So, you don't have to use DNS, but you must have resolvable names.
