What's inside krb5.conf? -- The [domain_realm] section
The [domain_realm] section provides a translation from a domain name or hostname to a Kerberos realm name. The relation can be a host name, or a domain name, where domain names are indicated by a period (`.') prefix. relation-value is the Kerberos realm name for that particular host or domain. Host names and domain names should be in lower case.

If no translation entry applies, the host's realm is considered to be the hostname's domain portion converted to upper case.

An Example
[domain_realm]
   .mit.edu = ATHENA.MIT.EDU
   mit.edu = ATHENA.MIT.EDU
   crash.mit.edu = TEST.ATHENA.MIT.EDU
   .fubar.org = FUBAR.ORG
   fubar.org = FUBAR.ORG 

In this example, crash.mit.edu maps into the TEST.ATHENA.MIT.EDU realm. All other hosts in the mit.edu domain map by default to the ATHENA.MIT.EDU realm, and all hosts in the fubar.org domain map by default into the FUBAR.ORG realm. Note the entries for the hosts mit.edu and fubar.org. Without these entries, these hosts would be mapped into the Kerberos realms EDU and ORG, respectively.
