Just to add: Thanks for this. I've successfully got RR working with Kerberos as you said. It's something I've been interested in as well. My test setup is:

SQUID1.domain.com 10.0.0.1
SQUID2.domain.com 10.0.0.2

RR DNS record SQUIDS.domain.com for each SQUIDx IP

Computer account in UnixPrincipals OU called SQUIDS

msktutil -u -b "OU=UnixPrincipals" -s HTTP/squids.domain.com -k /etc/squid/HTTP.keytab --computer-name squids --upn HTTP/squids --server dc1 --verbose -h squids.domain.com

Point browser to squids.domain.com.

Has anyone had success using Service Location records in DNS for different sites? I would be interested to hear about it..

It will work with the right setup (e.g. you have to copy the Kerberos keytab
to all machines and use the -s HTTP/<RR-DNS-name> or -s GSS_C_NO_NAME option
with squid_kerb_auth).
