After dicussing this with Red Hat support the best way to go about this
issue is to just restart the rpcgssd deamon on any nfs client that recently
had a mount to the re-deployed nfs server.
Restarting rpcgssd removes the /tmp/krb5cc_machine_EXAMPLE.COM file so a
new one can be created.
One other method would be to save various files (things like keytabs) and
re-use these after deployment but that turned out to be too much effort to
automate.
