Hi,
On systems with dhcp enabled, ntpd does not start at bootup due to DNS
not being available and using xhost2sockaddr() for initial lookup.
Would it be possible to have default behaviour that if DNS lookup fails
due to temporary error (no network) it would start, and retry dns
lookups. It could still refuse to start if dns lookup failed with
permanent error (no such name).
Thanks,
Timo
