This behavior follows from the internal APIs. krb5_locate_kdc takes a realm name and returns a complete list of addresses, and then krb5_sendto_kdc iterates over the address list. So it's not a bug, although I'd be happy to call it a misfeature. There are some complications in the way of changing the behavior (specifically, a plugin interface which assumes the realm -> addrlist interface), so I don't know if it's likely to get better in the near future. ________________________________________________ Kerberos mailing list [email protected] https://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/kerberos
