Interestingly enough, the *hostname* is still in use (by another machine under
my desk) - and it gets near zero hits.  So it's all hardcoded IP addrs not
hostnames.

And for NTP implementations that use DNS they also often only check
DNS on startup too...and lots of people do not maintain their
servers...well, except netgear, which just hammers the bugger out of
everything (See OP)
