For server-entries in ntp.conf, how does ntpd (4.2.8p13) time refreshing

As far as I know, for regular server entries once it's done the
initial lookup on startup, that's it...

I believe for pool entries it will do a lookup to grab new IPs if a
pool server goes silent. Maybe that's what you were referring to?

After 20-years, we need to change the address of our time server. I was hoping I could just update DNS and all the clients would eventually notice the change. That hope is dashed.

Thanks for the information, though. The answer wasn't what I hoped, but I can work with this.
