DNS host names on restrict lines work just fine. I verified this just now.

The problem is that you can't use hostnames in a restrict line, and the
reason we use hostname on server lines is so a hosting party can move
the time service to a different IP address with out disrupting
timeservice, not to mention for obvious reasons specific IP listings
won't work if you want to use the ntp.org ntp server pools. So if you
want to sync with pool timeservers and/or use only host names to sync
with specific public timeservers you have to allow open access to your
time server?
You could place your time server behind a stateful firewall. Then it
will not respond to NTP requests from the outside world.
Please see http://ntp.isc.org/Support/AccessRestrictions
So is this the way it is supposed to work? am I making a stupid mistake?
or is this a bug in 4.2?
It's a feature.
