[c-nsp] Hostname in NTP configuration instead of IP?

I have the same question as posted here about 7 months ago:
http://marc.info/?l=cisco-nsp&m=115714606828877&w=2

I would like to store the commands
	ntp server 0.us.pool.ntp.org
	ntp server 1.us.pool.ntp.org
	ntp server 2.us.pool.ntp.org
In my configuration, but IOS is always resolving that to an IP address. 

Is there any way to store it as the domain name?  The whole idea of the
pool.ntp.org project is that it's supposed to spread the NTP load and allow
NTP servers to leave and join the pool.  If IOS stores the IP address I'm
not much farther ahead than just sticking IP addresses in there.

Any ideas?

Frank
