Just curious; why is it necessary to fork a second process to do the DNS lookups?


So they are done asynchronously and don't block ntpd while they
complete or timeout.  I believe there are plans to incorporate
asynchronous resolution into ntpd, so that the child fork becomes
unnecessary.


I can't help wondering what ntpd is going to do until its server addresses are resolved. . . .
