The hosts involved are dual-stacked, as with most v6 deployments. I'm
unsure if v6 was ever used for krb as either was enabled. As for
services like SSH and IMAP they were only available on v6, v4 has too
many scans.

I'm not sure if this is a regression as much as it "could be" adding
partial support for v6 that's working just enough to break any v4/v6
