Hosts not responding is a normal state for ntp.  Since it never retries 
dns lookups beyond the first boot - it simply stores ip addresses - it's 
not practical to implement the same way web clients do.

You could make ntp retry dns lookups occasionally... this would be good 
for the pool too.  First you've got to get it past the ntp devs, then 
you've got to get it implemented in all the 3rd party ntp 
implementations - including microsoft.

Or you can go the simple route of giving it its own namespace and have 
an ipv6 pool (albeit experimental for now) next week/month rather than 
in 2-3 years time.
