[chrony-users] hostnames vs. IP address in chrony.conf

[ Thread Index | Date Index | More chrony.tuxfamily.org/chrony-users Archives ]


What strategy does chronyd use to resolve the hostnames to IP addresses for its upstream time servers?  I'm guessing it does so once at startup and then caches the result for all future use.  Is that correct?

I had a number of systems I had to twiddle with today because chronyd didn't seem to follow an IP address change we made in DNS.  I had specifically used a name via DNS to cope with such a situation so was surprised by this behavior.  To me it's the first reason to use names ... an abstraction layer allowing redirections.
