Speaking of xntpd, it would be nice if this adopted a similar mechanism as named to determine the addresses of all the interfaces in a machine. Specifically, to include alias addresses. At the moment, you may have an alias IP number under the same domain name but in another subnet from the primary. ntp clients will fail (approx) half the time depending entirely on how quickly the DNS rotates between 'A' records. This is not useful for an intended accurate time reference, michael
