If you use the OpenNTPd instead of classical ntpd one, you won't suffer this odd behaviour: http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/usr.sbin/ntpd/ntp_dns.c -- I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain. Bene Gesserit Litany Against Fear.
