In the interests of sane default behavior, shouldn't there be some default (long) interval after which ntpd re-resolves all of its name-based servers and peers if they stop responding? I know the new "pool" keyword is supposed to do something like this, but it seems server and peer lines should exhibit similar behavior.
That won't fix the hard-coded IP problem, but if such behavior made it into ntpd, and was pushed into most OS distributions, the problem might eventually go away or become very small after a few years. -- RPM _______________________________________________ timekeepers mailing list [email protected] https://fortytwo.ch/mailman/cgi-bin/listinfo/timekeepers
