I set up ntpd on FreeBSD 6.2 and am getting complaints from ntpd that there is no route to such and such address. It gives what appears to be an interface card address. I found several time servers and listed them in ntp.conf. One is unreachable as demonstrated by ping failure. The rest respond without hesitation, both to dig and ping. But why would ntpd be looking for interface addresses and not ip/domain names? The recent resolver problems I had have been solved, to the extent they have been a problem. Is ntpd trying arp or rarp for these addresses or is it something else I am not aware of? This is the first time I have dealt with ntp. I am trying to follow instructions from latest FreeBSD handbook. Thanks in advance; Jeff K
