Blob Blame History Raw
Symptom: intermittent errors on GSSAPI authentication vs 
machines on DNS loadbalancer, stupid client message "Generic Error",
server-side debug complains about unknown principal.

Comes from the fact that we resolve the generic DNS name once for
the connection, then again for getting the GSSAPI/Kerberos service
ticket. So the service ticket may be for a different host, if
the DNS alias switches in between the two resolves.
