Hmm, that doesn't fit what I've observed. I guess I should look at it
again, but I had come to the conclusion that once a server is
discarded, it never comes back.
Still, none of this changes my initial query. I can easily send
a signal to the NTP daemon when IPs change to speed things up; but
there's nothing in NTP's docs that indicates that such functionality
is supported.

Does that include Linux's rt_netlink? (Which is roughly equivalent to
BSD routing sockets, but even more messy.)

Thanks, I'll look into that.
