Alternatively, the address argument can be a valid host DNS name." I have found that the address argument MUST be an ip address only - it doesn't work with a valid host DNS name. This corroborated by the official documentation at: http://support.ntp.org/bin/view/Support/AccessRestrictions#Section_6.5.1.2.1. which says: "You must use an IP address on the restrict line." >How-To-Repeat: In the restrict line, use host DNS name instead of IP address. >Fix: n/a >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
