When mounting an NFSv4 with Kerberos, authentication fails and krb5kdc.log shows the wrong principal name for the NFS server.
LOOKING_UP_SERVER: ... host/nfsclient.internal.domain.tld@IPA.DOMAIN.TLD for nfs/containershost.internal.domain.tld@IPA.DOMAIN.TLD
... Server not found in Kerberos database
Principal nfs/containershost.internal.domain.tld should be nfs/nfs.internal.domain.tld.
Am I correct in assuming that a reverse DNS query is being performed which is returning containershost.internal.domain.tld? If so, at what step in the process (and from which machine) does this lookup happen?
$ dig -x 192.111.111.111
111.111.111.192.in-addr.arpa. 6009 IN PTR containershost.internal.domain.tld.
Is there a way to prevent this reverse DNS query from happening? The host at IP 192.111.111.111 (containershost.internal.domain.tld) is running multiple containers and so adding PTR records isn't possible.
