My reactions are similar to Nico's.

I would advise reducing the problem statement.  We know we have a
problem with hostname-to-realmname mappings; none of the other use cases
strike me as real problems.  If we reduce the problem to "I have a
hostname and I want the realm," then most of the complexity goes away.
