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

[Frank Bulk]

Fair enough.....so what I'm hearing you say is that each NSP should operate
their own NTP servers for internal use, and their customers should do
likewise.  And the NSP might make their own NTP servers available to their
smaller customers who may not (or be able to, because of 'expertise')
operate their own.

In other words, best practices trump a limitation in IOS. =)

Run your own local NTP server that uses the DNS based pools, then point
your routers to the IP address of your server.
