Using IP addresses in files like krb5.conf is generally discouraged,
as it's easier to change a single entry in dns than it is to change a
file on every machine. We don't even specify the kdcs in krb5.conf in
our environment, relying entirely on srv records for kdc discovery.
I suppose this could be considered a bug, if anyone cared.
