All,
One of my favourite articles on the interweb is the following (about the
Netgear/UWisc debacle).
http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~plonka/netgear-sntp
In the list of best practice recommendations it makes about SNTP
implementations, it says:
"SHOULD resolve the server IP address via DNS before each poll/query, so
that the pertinent DNS entries' Time-To-Live values are respected."
I was wondering whether the readership of this forum feels that this
should also apply to NTP implementations.
Cheers, Jan
