Hello, looking for an answer of the following misbehaviour:

Server entries are only valid and accepted if I use ip-address and not if I 
user fqdn of the timeserver1/2!
Resolving of Timeserver-fqdn is successful!

Do anybody have an explanation of this unexpected behavior?

the ntp.conf looks quite like that:

##########
restrict 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0 nomodify nopeer

equivalent to:

restrict default nomodify nopeer

should add noquery, notrap and limited, kod to avoid RDDoS attacks
and rate limit everything:

restrict default kod limited nomodify nopeer noquery notrap

and allow local access:

restrict 127.0.0.1
restrict -6 ::1

also add any local subnet or systems you may want to monitor from

##########

# driftfile ist sehr empfehlenswert wg. Reboot-Situationen
driftfile /etc/inet/ntp.drift

remove below as it is really designed for external local clock discipline:

server 127.127.1.1
fudge  127.127.1.1 stratum 5

add orphan mode if you want to be able to serve time, and a couple of internet
servers or a pool statement with a pool server:

pool CC.pool.ntp.org iburst minpoll 6 maxpoll 6

where CC is your country code

and add "iburst minpoll 6 maxpoll 6" to your server lines

### internal timeserver:
##server fqdn-timeserver1 prefer
##server fqdn-timeserver2

# internal  timeserver:
server <ipv4-adress-timeserver1> prefer
server <ipv4-adress-timeserver2>

Names are resolved by DNS - check with nslookup on the host names alone
and with the fqdns and maybe add local aliases to /etc/hosts e.g.:

timeserver1-ipaddress timeserver1-hostname timeserver1-fqdn
timeserver2-ipaddress timeserver2-hostname timeserver2-fqdn

and to be friendly add to ntp.conf:

restrict timeserver1-hostname nomodify
restrict timeserver2-hostname nomodify

Take care. Thanks, Brian Inglis
