[root at ipaclient ~]# more /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1	localhost.localdomain	localhost

Add domain mpls.local to /etc/resolv.conf

[root at ipaserver ~]#ifdown eth0

[root at ipaclient ~]# kinit mike
kinit: Cannot contact any KDC for realm 'MPLS.LOCAL' while getting initial credentials
[root at ipaclient ~]# nslookup ipaserver

[root at ipaclient ~]# nslookup ipaserver2
Server:		172.16.112.8
Address:	172.16.112.8#53

Name:	ipaserver2.mpls.local
Address: 172.16.112.8

add '172.16.112.9 ipaclient.mpls.local ipaclient' to /etc/hosts

[root at ipaserver ~]#ifup eth0

[root at ipaclient ~]# kinit mike
Password for mike at MPLS.LOCAL: 

[root at ipaserver ~]#ifdown eth0

[root at ipaclient ~]# kinit mike
kinit: Cannot contact any KDC for realm 'MPLS.LOCAL' while getting initial credentials
[root at ipaclient ~]# nslookup -type=srv _kerberos-master._tcp

_kerberos-master._tcp.mpls.local	service = 0 100 88 ipaserver2.mpls.local.
_kerberos-master._tcp.mpls.local	service = 0 100 88 ipaserver.mpls.local.

[root at ipaclient ~]# nslookup -type=srv _kerberos-master._udp
Server:		172.16.112.5
Address:	172.16.112.5#53

_kerberos-master._udp.mpls.local	service = 0 100 88 ipaserver.mpls.local.
_kerberos-master._udp.mpls.local	service = 0 100 88 ipaserver2.mpls.local.


[root at ipaclient ~]# kinit mike
kinit: Cannot contact any KDC for realm 'MPLS.LOCAL' while getting initial credentials

[root at ipaserver ~]#ifup eth0

[root at ipaclient ~]# kinit mike
Password for mike at MPLS.LOCAL:
