Maybe, but it is not clear what you mean.

That is part of it, although DNS could be used to find the realms.

You say logins, so I as assuming that the station is Unix based.
Login would use PAM with a pam_krb5, and the station above will
need to have a principal in one of the realms and a keytab
to match.

But if a user is in one AD doamin and the server is in a different
AD domain, this would be cross realm and the pam_krb5 would have
to so some additional checks.

Kerberos only does authentication you still need to authorize
the user to login.
