Guys,
I like the *option* (or ability) to get a FQDN for an NTP server from DHCP.
And I do not know if an NTP server will be talking directly to a DHCP
service or if that will go thru a 'shim' process. The details of this
mechanism is probably not important.
And if DHCP can feed a *list* of addresses to NTP, that is very useful
as well. In this case, the DHCP server could take the list of addresses
that FQDN resolves into and pass that list along.
