[Users] Restirct list of AD servers

I have a situation where the Active Directory domain I am trying to use 
as authentication for ovirt lists many servers all around the world.

But... my server running ovirt is sitting behind a firewall that doesn't 
allow me to access all of them... only the local ones.  We do have a 
"locater dns record" which we can query at a well known name and it will 
always return the local ip address of the AD server...  but if you query 
the SRV records for the domain it will return all of the servers.

I was able to add the domain using engine-manage-domains, and I tweaked 
the /etc/ovirt-engine/krb5.conf to only include the local AD servers 
where we can access, but that doesn't seem to be sufficient.

Not sure if ovirt is querying the dns records on boot to get the list of 
servers to talk to or not, but it doesn't seem to be using 
/etc/ovirt-engine/krb.conf for this purpose.

So... is there anyway to manually force it to use a certain server and 
not have it query dns?

thanks.
