afs@REALM can only safely be used when the client knows 100% for sure
that the "afs" service principal is associated with the cell that is
being accessed.  aklog will only search for afs@ in the realm that is
guessed as being associated with the DNS name of one of the VLDB servers
for the realm selected at random.

This is why we strongly recommend that the afs/cell@REALM form of
service tickets be used in all cases.  afs/cell can be used with
Kerberos referrals and when dns realm hierarchies must be searched.
