>Description:
In the section "Access Control Commands --> restrict", it says:
"The address argument expressed in dotted-quad form is the address of a host or network. Alternatively, the address argument can be a valid host DNS name."
I have found that the address argument MUST be an ip address only - it doesn't work with a valid host DNS name. This corroborated by the official documentation at: http://support.ntp.org/bin/view/Support/AccessRestrictions#Section_6.5.1.2.1. which says:
"You must use an IP address on the restrict line."
>How-To-Repeat:
In the restrict line, use host DNS name instead of IP address.
>Fix:
n/a
