Why are you dumping all of this here? What is your problem?
If you do not want the hostnames displayed, read the man chronyc file
..................
Client commands
dns option
The dns command configures how hostnames and IP addresses are
resolved in chronyc. IP addresses can be
resolved to hostnames when printing results of sources, sourcestats,
tracking and clients commands.
Hostnames are resolved in commands that take an address as argument.
There are five options:
dns -n
Disables resolving IP addresses to hostnames. Raw IP addresses
will be displayed.
.............
Also using IP addresses instead of hostbnames is dangerous, as the server
owner could change the IP on his ntp host, and you could be out of luck.
There is nothing that prevents them from doing so.

Using dnscrypt-proxy and its cloaking features.. I grab most timeservers
(*.pool.ntp.org, time.windows.com,
time.apple.com, time-ios.apple.com, etc.. ) and redirect them to our internal
host, presently 172.16.254.241
Using wireshark to show we went to the correct server.. and got time..

(great) working..
but
```
chronyc clients -n | wc -l
3299
```
but where am I?
We sure do not know.
```
# chronyc clients -n | grep 10.20.28
10.20.28.33 1 0 - - 15h 0 0 - -
10.20.28.10 93 0 10 - 719 0 0 - -
```
/flushdns, sync time, /displaydns.. all looks good..

Manually toggled/sync'd time on Windows10..
Still not there..
again looks like I made it..

and still not there..
Where do you want to be?
I just restarted..
If you just restarted then chrony time is not going to be very good.

(confused how I used IPs but it converts to a name..)
Becasue that is what chrony does unless you tell it not to .
I'm open to suggestions, and greatly appreciate any attention anyone feels this
is worth..
Suggestions for what?
I literally have no problem, but I was stepping through a problem and looking
for something and couldn't find the
host..
Education.
