I don't believe this and I have some serious problems.

Part of my challenge is I am running the new server on an armv7 board that
does not have a rtc.  So when the system boots, the time is jan 1 1970.  The
first thing you want to run is ntp to set the time, but requires named
running and resolving.

For the 'fun' of it, I used 'date' to set the time to now, and then no
problem resolving 0.centos.pool.ntp.org.  So there is something about that
resolution that does not like the early date.

So I am caught in a time bind here!

Is there anyway to get bind not to be particular about system time at first?

Hopefully this isn't a production server... rtc's kind of important
;-)

Lack of a battery for the system clock is the norm for arm boards. They pretty much expect network time. This is a problem with designing a mobile arm solution.

I'll ditto here and say: static /etc/hosts entries or static IPs in ntp.conf.

Definitely the obvious punt.
