If you're lucky you'll have the shuf utility, which will do exactly that. You'll find it in many Linux/GNU systems.
Code:
shuf < inputfile > outputfile

NAME
shishi_realm_for_server_dns - API function SYNOPSIS
#include <shishi.h> char * shishi_realm_for_server_dns(Shishi * handle, char * server); ARGUMENTS
Shishi * handle Shishi library handle create by shishi_init(). char * server hostname to find realm for. DESCRIPTION
Find realm for a host using DNS lookups, according to draft-ietf-krb-wg-krb-dns-locate-03.txt. Since DNS lookups may be spoofed, relying on the realm information may result in a redirection attack. In a single-realm scenario, this only achieves a denial of service, but with cross-realm trust it may redirect you to a compromised realm. For this reason, Shishi prints a warning, suggesting that the user should add the proper 'server-realm' configuration tokens instead. To illustrate the DNS information used, here is an extract from a zone file for the domain ASDF.COM: _kerberos.asdf.com. IN TXT "ASDF.COM" _kerberos.mrkserver.asdf.com. IN TXT "MARKETING.ASDF.COM" _ker- beros.salesserver.asdf.com. IN TXT "SALES.ASDF.COM" Let us suppose that in this case, a client wishes to use a service on the host foo.asdf.com. It would first query: _kerberos.foo.asdf.com. IN TXT Finding no match, it would then query: _kerberos.asdf.com. IN TXT RETURN VALUE
Returns realm for host, or NULL if not found. REPORTING BUGS
