Are you sure about that?

I think that "name" in that context refers to an interface name rather than a 
host name.

The man page for ntp.conf says:
    That parameter specifies a class of addresses, or a
     specific interface name, or an address.

I poked around a bit and found:
          const char *    if_name,        /* interface name or numeric 
address */

I don't remember any DNS stuff in that area when I was cleaning up the DNS 
code for server/pool commands.
