[Bug 114505] Re: ntp brought up before network is ready; fails not resolve any ip or host names; ntp does not recover

[cwsupport]

It will not affect them in any way at all. The ntpd will come up at the
right time as specified in rc2.d.

Resolution without local DNS will result in gethostbyname() going out to
an external DNS and this functionality will not be affected.

The fix is therefore transparent to most users (hence why it probably
hasnt been picked up so far).

The fix will be a god-send to anyone running a server that also hosts
DNS (bind9 typically). The fix is therefore more important to
corporates. Most end-users not running DNS servers probably wonder what
all the current fuss is about.
