Confirmed: libntp/ntp_rfc2553.c:getaddrinfo() calls do_nodename(), which
calls DNSlookup_name(), regardless of AI_NUMERICHOST. To confirm it
experimentaly I made the DNSlookup_name() call conditional. And then
ntpq -p display becomes normally fast, and DNS logs show no more
importune A queries. Problem solved: Bravo Ronan, thank you very much,
and thanks to all contributors. :-)
Next step is to report this to bugzilla, I suppose. Could anyone suggest
a proper fix? Mine works as proof but is probably inapropriate:
