You _can_ use a host-name on a restrict line only _if_ that host-name
resolves to _one_ IP address.
You _can_ _not_ use a host-name that resolves to _multiple_ IP addresses
on a restrict line.
This is because the restrict line uses only the first IP address that is
returned.
This obviously rules out the use of pool.ntp.org host-names in restrict
lines.
