Are you sure about that?
I think that "name" in that context refers to an interface name rather than a
host name.
The man page for ntp.conf says:
That parameter specifies a class of addresses, or a
specific interface name, or an address.
I poked around a bit and found:
const char * if_name, /* interface name or numeric
address */
I don't remember any DNS stuff in that area when I was cleaning up the DNS
code for server/pool commands.
