Would that mean that we can skip all the DNS SRV records?
Not the kerberos ones, only the LDAP ones.
And, it also currently supports only one LDAP server per domain (this entry was originally
used in order to specify that the LDAP server is localhost. Instead of just writing an
entry specifying whether the LDAP server is local or not, we did a more general
configuration). It is no longer in use for that purpose, but the config entry is still
there.
