Hi Rob,

The DNS server supports this (also targeting by ASN), but it’s murky what 
exactly the desired behavior is. A variation I’ve considered is to allow 
networks to specify servers to prioritize for the SNTP clients and in one of 
the “numbered zones”, but how do you validate that you are an ISP X network 
admin vs just some customer?

It seems “obvious” that something like what you suggest would get closer/better 
servers, but other considerations are getting diversity, load balancing clients 
among the servers, etc. There are also obvious new avenues for targeted 
mischief.

As this thread shows, quickly you can come up with many alternative good ideas, 
making it unclear what’d be more worthwhile to implement.
