interesting. In a fast review in some domain joined hosts you could get the
info in /var/lib/sss/pubconf/kdcinfo.YOUR.REALM, there you see the ip
address of the kdc last contated by the host before renewing its secure
channel, I guess.

The file is world readable, so you should not need any special privileges
to read it.

Otherwise you would have to enable some logging in sssd (out of the box it
does not log nearly anything) and parse the logs in /var/log/sssd/*
