I agree with Gary in that it seems perfectly reasonable that KE and NTP could be on different address families. If an IPv4 KE server returns a hostname with only AAAA records, that would happen. Or if it returns an IPv6 address directly. Or vice versa, with an IPv6 KE server returning a hostname with only A records or returning an IPv4 address directly. However, based on the current documentation, I wouldn't expect "server -4 HOSTNAME -6" to be valid syntax. If this is supposed to work, the documentation should be updated. And even then, I'd expect that the -4 or -6 should be part of and thus after "nts", not before it. Or perhaps the -4 or -6 should be part of "ask" or "require", to make it clear that it applies to the NTP server? I would, though, expect this sort of syntax to work, once ask and require are implemented: server -4 HOSTNAME ask 2001:DB8::1 server -4 HOSTNAME require 2001:DB8::1 server -6 HOSTNAME ask 1.2.3.4 server -6 HOSTNAME require 1.2.3.4 -- Richard
