If kerberos is unable to do a reverse lookup of the IP address it will
be also unable to get the right ticket for the service.
You should try to connect by fqdn instead of ip address: psql -h FQDN -U
USER.
BTW you don't need the host principal in the
/var/lib/pgsql/data/krb5.keytab keytab used only by postgres.
