Any Kerberos implementation worth its salt should be able to use SRV
lookups, which Active Directory supports, to autodiscover the KDCs.
 Moreover, even when explicit specification is necessary, you do not
normally specify them in the PAM stack but in /etc/krb5.conf.

Where (which module) and why are you having to specify KDC machines
within/as part of the PAM stack?
