Please don't do this. If the server is not on a static IP address it has no business serving NTP packets for the pool. In any case there is currently no way for the NTP client to follow the change of the server address. I have no plans to change this and it's almost impossible to follow such a change anyway. Rereading the DNS list won't help you as you are most likely going to get a different set of addresses from the previous time you made a query (modulo the DNS resolver's caching the results of the previous query). This is a really bad idea. Danny _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
