You can request tickets that are not limited to specific IP addresses. 
This is obviously not ideal.  I also don't follow Kerberos development
very closely, so there might be a better solution, such as changing the
IP address in the ticket during a renewal, or requesting a subnet
instead of an IP address.

Good luck.  I, for one, would like to hear if you find other options.
