Question about this, or maybe an example would clear it up...
Is fallback going to work also from the cli? e.g. pass the realm on the 
cli and if that's not found look in ipa.conf and if not there use DNS 
and if all that fails spit out the above error?

What's an example of passing the realm on the cli? I thought it was 
optional...

/me the not quite grokking it yet...
