Yes, if you enter an IP address of a timeserver into the config, you are indicating that such timeserver is not going to move until you change the config again. If you enter a DNS hostname into the config, it should be paying attention to the DNS TTL and periodically re-resolving it to see whether the A/CNAME record changed to a new IP (clamping the TTL to a sane range, perhaps, if needed). > I get a new address, potentially, every time I boot. That's perfectly OK as a client. However, someone in a dynamic IP pool typically shouldn't be providing / advertising NTP services....
