I don't think the original poster meant that the application should do direct queries on the wire. It is a resolver's job to cache, and only repeat queries after the cached answers have expired. An application should be free to ask any time it wants to. > IP addresses do > not change all that often and a system that did change IP addresses > frequently would not be much use as an NTP server. I believe it's a bad thing to build such (or any) assumptions into a system. DNS has TTL-values precisely to handle such issues. I'd say, use them.
