Reach = 0, not getting responses from "hostname" servers?
Poll = 1024, it will try again in 17 minutes?

What else does your NTP Conf contain? What version of NTP? Which OS?
My guess would be that NTP is not seeing any answers
from the "hostname" servers.
Is DNS up when NTPd starts?
{I think I recall two or three people who said they had
a issue on boot; due to dynamic IPs? ... and DNS not
resolving the host names for far too long after NTP
was started?}
Do you see the NTP query packets going out?
Do you see NTP response packets coming back?
If restarting NTP solves the issue the following
are unlikely to be a cause of the issue:
Perhaps NTP conf restrict issues?
What version of NTP? (restrict source nomodify ?)
Are the "hostname" servers on your LAN? internet?
Access policies? / Firewall?
Something else has port 123 open already?
