I was considering a change like
https://github.com/krb5/krb5/commit/b91da5a4c7efc189dcfe57c4de2a8e8673102295which
is only complicated in the analysis.  And on further consideration,
removing kpropd's check of the client address should clearly be
safe--kpropd only receives one KRB-SAFE message, before it sends
anything to the client.

We never implemented directional addresses.  It's possible that they
would be trivial to implement.
