If you want to load balance by using a common DNS name in front of all<br>
servers, you will need to deal with issues with krb5 authentication.<br>
<br>
At the very least you should add keys to all servers for a principal<br>
named after the common name. However we do not test this scenario and I<br>
am not 100% sure it works correctly when you factor in that we use<br>
GSSAPI also for replication.<br>
