The following is from my logwatch email:
--------------------- XNTPD Begin ------------------------
XNTPD Killed: 7 Time(s)
XNTPD Started: 8 Time(s)
Total interfaces 8 (non-local: 4)
Total synchronizations 6 (hosts: 1)
Errors getaddrinfo: "0.centos.pool.ntp.org" invalid host address, ignored: 2 time(s) getaddrinfo: "1.centos.pool.ntp.org" invalid host address, ignored: 2 time(s) getaddrinfo: "2.centos.pool.ntp.org" invalid host address, ignored: 2 time(s)
---------------------- XNTPD End -------------------------
Yet from this host I get:
# host 0.centos.pool.ntp.org 0.centos.pool.ntp.org has address 208.53.158.34 0.centos.pool.ntp.org has address 69.50.219.51 0.centos.pool.ntp.org has address 108.76.168.145
So what is NTP doing here; why the errors for getaddrinfo?
Or is this nothing more than 2 out of some many times getaddrinfo failed, but worked just fine enough to count?

Could be a temporary failure.
Check actual ntpd status with ntpq -p
In alternative you could use "generic" ntp public pool:
server 0.pool.ntp.org server 1.pool.ntp.org server 2.pool.ntp.org server 3.pool.ntp.org
Or your local ntp public pool: go to http://www.pool.ntp.org/en/ choose your geographic area from the table on top right of the page then your coutry.
For instance, United States server pool configuration is
server 0.us.pool.ntp.org server 1.us.pool.ntp.org server 2.us.pool.ntp.org server 3.us.pool.ntp.org

For all the fiddling I did to set up my own ntp servers for my net, I should have looked that little bit extra and done this part, rather than just use the Centos default ntp servers. thanks for the tip.
