AFAIK it does not. However you may restart ntpd periodically. (Actually I just check with a script if our servers has enough peers.) > If it DOES resolve the host IPs periodically, is it intelligent enough to use > something like DNS TTL to know WHEN to refresh? No application works like this. TTL is no such information what gethostbyname() returns. Programs should make extra efforts to gather TTL.
