[ntpwg] [dhcwg] Re: Network Time Protocol (NTP) Options for DHCPv6

[Danny Mayer]

Dave,

I don't see how. The DHCP server and the NTP server are different nodes
on the network, unless the DHCP server is going to provide the NTP
service as well but that's a bad assumption to make even though the DHCP
server SHOULD be running NTP, if only for itself.
