How should a client distinguish between two *different* LDAP databases
using the same service principal name?

I think each LDAP DB should have a unique service principal name. Most
times ldap/fqdn@REALM will do, but if you're running two different LDAP
DBs on the same host you'd have to use a different service princ name
for at least one of them, which means that the clients have to be
somewhat configurable with respect to Kerberos service principal names
for LDAP servers.

Cheers,
