Definitely on the first DFS server. On the others, they'll need to
accept SPNs holding the hostnames that are in the DFS referrals. So if
your DFS server gives you a referral that's something like this:

    bar -> //foo.d.ethz.ch/bar

...then you'll need to ensure that foo.d.ethz.ch accepts SPNs that have
that hostname in them.
