Let me be clearer, then.

Every domain name has a TTL, short for "time to live". When 
chrony resolves a domain name to its IP, could it not be 
made to abide by this TTL and re-resolve the domain name 
when it expires? This is the way that every other domain 
resolver in the world works, and is the fundamental 
underpinning of the Domain Name System.
