Description

Per http://doc.ntp.org/current-stable/confopt.html one should be able to prefix an NTP server hostname with either '-4' or '-6' to force DNS resolution in either ipv4 or ipv6.

"_Note that in contexts where a host name is expected, a -4 qualifier preceding the host name forces DNS resolution to the IPv4 namespace, while a -6 qualifier forces DNS resolution to the IPv6 namespace._"

This does not currently work in the pfsense GUI - attempting to do so corrupts the confirguration.
