I think it is a good idea to furnish time server addresses over DHCP in the same manner as name server addresses. How widespread that practice is, I have to admit I don't know. I notice, however, that NetworkManager doesn't support obtaining time server addresses over DHCP. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=627343 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/267891 > But do you want it to log this every second?

Perhaps also the retry interval for a given name should increase gradually from 1 second to, say, 15 minutes? -- Thomas
