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 ...
