What do these mean?
ask address
Use Network Time Security for authentication and encryption. Ask
for a specific NTS server, which may differ from the NTP server.
Conforms to RFC 3896 section 3.2.2 prescription for the Host part
of a URI: that is, the address may be a hostname, an FQDN, an IPv4
numeric address, or an IPv6 numeric address (in square brackets).
The address may have the suffix :port to specify a UDP port.
require address
Use Network Time Security for authentication and encryption.
Require a specific NTS server, which may differ from the NTP
server. Address syntax is as for ask.
--------
I can't figure out what combination of NTS-KE server and NTP server those are
trying to describe.
We get a text string after the "server" command. Normally, that's the NTP
hostname. If it is followed by "nts", it becomes the NS-KE server name and
default NTP server name.
The NTS-KE exchange may return a string which is a name or address of the NTP
server to use. (currently ignored) You can also request a specific address.

These are my opinions. I hate spam.
