You haven't lived, until you cannot update the time via ntp, because no dns, because dnssec records aren't valid, because the time is wrong.... This dnssec/ntp dependency loop is absurd, and it is incomprehensible that ntp/dns can break this way.

Could you fix that? I've had mixed results trying to resolve such NTP related issues.

I think using IPs for NTP servers, or disabling dnssec are your only options.

Both show how silly it all is, IMO.
