Is it dangerous to get the IP addresses for the KDC and Kadmin servers
from a nameserver?  Since no secrets are sent in the clear over the
network, I would think that even if somebody managed to redirect your
ticket requests, the information they get would be just as useful as
if they just passively monitored the net.  Am I wrong?  Is the answer
the same for both kerberized clients and servers?  Thanks.
