ntpd: retry initial DNS resolution (forever, no timeout for now).
Some users start ntpd on boot, and don't babysit it. If it dies because DNS is not yet up and therefore NTP servers can't be found, users are not happy. Example behavior with a peer name which can't be resolved: ntpd: bad address 'qwe.rty.ghj.kl' ...5 sec... ntpd: bad address 'qwe.rty.ghj.kl' ntpd: bad address 'qwe.rty.ghj.kl' ntpd: bad address 'qwe.rty.ghj.kl' ntpd: bad address 'qwe.rty.ghj.kl' ntpd: bad address 'qwe.rty.ghj.kl' ntpd: bad address 'qwe.rty.ghj.kl' ntpd: bad address 'qwe.rty.ghj.kl' ntpd: bad address 'qwe.rty.ghj.kl' ntpd: bad address 'qwe.rty.ghj.kl' ...
