What I see in the code is:
case EAI_NONAME:
#ifndef FORCE_DNSRETRY
return (0);
#else
return (1);
#endif
So that FORCE_DNSRETRY would only help if getaddrinfo() returned
EAI_NONAME.
If I understand it right, ntpd would atleast retry in case of:
- EAI_AGAIN
- EAI_NODATA
- EAI_FAIL
- EAI_SYSTEM
So it must be either an other error code like EAI_NONAME, and I don't
see any other that are likely returned, or something wrong with the
retry code.
I would be useful to find out what errorcode is returned by
getaddrinfo().
