Uh, no.  I use TLS with IPs all the time.  Not as functional as using
names, but it does work.

Uh, no.  If you have the NTS-KE name/ip, then you do not need/use the
NTPD server name/ip.  I'd do with what you just described: 'nts' is
a keyword to change the meaning from NTPD server to NTS-KE server.
