I have question here:

Rrecently I have removed an RTC battery
from my amd64 system and it turned out
that ntpd couldn't do anything to set the time
because the local DNS resolver failed
(I presume it was dnssec failure).

What is the most elegant solution to
cope with such a race condition?
(DNS needs time, setting time needs DNS)
