Yes, I know, my message said it was complaining about what appear to
be arp addresses ( I think they are also referred to as MAC addresses)
I will try to reproduce an error message if I can get one to come up  
now.
Last night I edited ntp.conf to comment out a time server that was not
responding to pings but did turn up a dig response. The ntpd did give
me these messages, so just to get it out of my hair for a while I killed
it. Some time later I restarted it with the command line presented in
the FBSD handbook telling how to start the server. It did not give me
anymore problems.
Another poster requested I send the output from  "ntpq -p".

Here are the console messages:
ntpd (706) send to(2610:1f8:d8:2:216:cbff:fea3:4b2e:) no route to host
   "       "         "       (2001:4830:1210:0;280:10ff:fe00:48b9)   "
  #are these ipv6 addresses? Or are they expecting authentication and
refusing connections?
Thanks for the responses:
