Added a PTR entry for my IP that resolves to my hostname.
The TCP/IP configuration on our Subversion server points to a DNS
server on our LAN which happens to be authoritative for my IP subnet,
so..

I'm not sure whether things will work out correctly if your local
hostname is xyz but your ISP has a reverse record for your IP that
resolves to some hostname that they've made up. Haven't tried. If
Neon sends your local hostname over the wire and your Subversion
server resolves your IP through public DNS to something else, I
wouldn't be surprised if Kerberos got sensitive about the mismatch..

Anyway, assuming your IP is w.x.y.z and your hostname is
gargle.bladder.com, you'll add a PTR record for
"z.y.x.w.in-addr.arpa." pointing to "gargle.bladder.com.". It could
look like this in a zone file:
z.y.x.w.in-addr.arpa. IN PTR gargle.bladder.com.

And that's about it, if the rest of your DNS is already set up.

(Assuming that you have static IP. If you're using DHCP there's
more/different work involved.)

Hrm. Hehe. It's a lot easier to explain if we stick to the "just
hack the hosts file" approach.. Adding a line to
%windir%/system32/drivers/etc/hosts saying:
  w.x.y.z gargle.bladder.com
should also do the trick (but of course won't be in sync with the rest
of your organization and such).

I'll try and come up with a FAQ entry.
