If you have multihomed host, you can specify the your particular ip address
by doing bind on your local socket.  This is what I have done to make the
code run on our multihomed host:

In send_to_kdc.c after the socket was obtained add:

    if ( loc_host_addr == 0 ) /* static u_long loc_host_addr = 0 initially */ {
        if ( (loc_host_addr = gethostid()) == 0) {
            if (krb_debug)
               fprintf(stderr, "%s: Gethostid error\n", prog);
            return(SKDC_CANT);
        }
    }
    local.sin_addr.s_addr = loc_host_addr;
    local.sin_family = AF_INET;
    if (bind(f, &local, S_AD_SZ, 0) < 0) /* struct sockaddr_in local */ {
        if (krb_debug)
               fprintf(stderr, "%s: Can't bind \n", prog);
        return(SKDC_CANT);

Similar code was added to kadm_cli_wrap.c, adm_serv.c, kerberos.c, etc


K5 supports multihomed hosts.
