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.
