It would be much better if chrony would look up the server addresses again when it does recieve the "online" state command. It seems that there is no option to turn on such a functionality.

For completeness, even if it is getting OT in this mailing list (Sorry):

http://chrony.sunsite.dk/faq.php#question_5.2 "The problem is that chronyd (currently) isn't designed in a way that allows hostname->IP address lookups during normal operation. I hope to work on this problem very soon." (How old is this entry? ;) )

The solution is to restart chrony at ppp ip-up: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=268289

My /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/chrony now is:

#!/bin/sh

sleep 1 invoke-rc.d chrony restart sleep 1

... the original unmodified script follows here ...
