What is the "TTL of the IPs it resolves"?
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.
So you want to saddle chrony with a whole bunch of
resolver software as well?
It is complex enough as it is ( remember that every
addition to the code
doubles the probability of bugs.)
Remember KISS.
