This seems to be a real bug here.  Sometimes I'm seeing the ntpd whining 
about resolve failures on start when I'm doing network maintenance, but 
I have never checked if it operates correctly once the nameservers are back.

Did you look into *why* it never works again, and how exactly it doesn't 
work -- it still seems to be running and spamming console while it's 
unable to resolve?
