      A DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST :
      The current mechaniosm used to locate KDCs is not flexible enough for large dynamic environments. Some systems (win2k for example) use DNS to locate KDCs. The current implementation allows either a list of KDC to be given in a system property or a krb5.conf file to be read.
      A better solution would be to define a Krb5ConfigProvider interface and to allow an app to set a system propery specifying the class of the concrete provider. This provider can then resolve KDC addresses dynamically

      JUSTIFICATION :
      Want to use GSS/JAAS/Krb5 in win2k environment
