A few questions about implementing a KDC for OpenAFS

Hi

I am going through the MIT Kerberos 5 Installation Guide, and have a few questions for the KDC I intend to implement for our group's OpenAFS server(s) :

1. Which is the better choice from the point of view of a Kerberos authentication mechanism that fully integrates with OpenAFS (I will be using Debian Sarge) - MIT or Heimdal ?

2. The group I administer servers for is a part of a much larger organization which has its own realm and AFS setup. However, I want only a subset of that organization (viz. my own group) to be authenticated for access to our fileservers (which have FQDNs and are visible on the Internet, running Slackware 10.1). Is it possible for me to get away without implementing a KDC at all and just pbutt on the authentication requests to the organization's KDC after ensuring that they belong to a restricted subset of the users at my end ?

3. Let us buttume that the answer to 2 above is no. In that case, is it possible for me to hide the KDC completely from the Internet ( with clbutt C addresses) ? Let us buttume the following topology :

Fileserver (with a lot of hard disk space with two network interfaces - with network addresses - FQDN address and a clbutt C address, say 192.168.0.1) -------- KDC server (a small amount of hard disk space with IP 192.168.0.2).

All the clients would have dynamic IP addresses in the range that is outside of the clbutt C network (obtained from a DHCP server in the larger organization I refered to in 2 above).

I guess I am asking if it is possible for the fileservers to "forward" authentication requests in some fashion to a KDC that the clients know (and can know) nothing about.

Or should the KDC be the machine that is visible on the Internet and the fileservers have the clbutt C addresses ?

Please bear with me - this is first time I am trying to set up a KDC and am also totally new to kerberos administration. Any pointers to relevant documentation would be greatly welcome.
