Version 3.4 is very obsolete and really is xntpd (some vendors mis-label
the current version as xntpd).  Knowledge of this version has largely
expired, and the fix for any problem would be to upgrade to a current
version.  The y indicates a vendor modification, so your first call
should be the vendor.

I'm pretty sure that is poor, but not relevant to the current problem; it's
ability to trim the clock is rather coarse.

I'm confused.  It seems to have rejected the domain name then used it.
What does [x]ntpq's peers command say.

Note that some resolver implementations may return the same address each
time, which is not what you want.
