After the update of ntp in CURRENT to 4.2.0, my systems stopped working because the servers specified in ntp.conf had AAAA records associated with them. If the IPv6 address is not reachable, ntpd does not seem to give up and try the IPv4 address. It looks to me like it just gives up. I did not notice any problem while I was on an IPv6 connected network at work or while on travel at a networking conference as they have IPv6 connectivity, but when I tried from home, where my broadband provider does not provide any IPv6 routing, ntp simply spits out messages that it failed to connect to each server. Is this a problem with the vendor code or is it the result of some FreeBSD patch? -- R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
