As of 4.2.4p5 ntpd does the right thing in these situations. Here's an extract from the stable release ChangeLog: (4.2.4p5) 2008/08/17 Released by Harlan Stenn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * [Bug 841] Obsolete the "dynamic" keyword and make deferred binding to local interfaces the default. Emit a warning if that keyword is used for configuration.
