It's a bit of a hack, and in the unlikely event that someone set up a
realm for, say, COM, it would require local configuration.

Other than that I don't see any problems. :-)

Wouldn't this be a problem only if you have a non-dns based realm AND
you also don't have any local configuration for it (or if the KDC is
down)?
