Is this basically the same as what was discussed a while back on the
MIT kerberos list?[1] If so, that is really great.

It was not clear to me from the feature description if this will
disable rdns entirely? Does this only covers cases where a PTR record
is completely missing, or does it also cover cases where the PTR
record present but "incorrect" (eg. doesn't match the forward record)?
I have plenty of both situations at my site :-(
