Description

NTP server fields on DHCP Server config page only allow IPs. That works fine with FQDNs now, IIRC it didn't in the past.

Same restriction exists on DHCPv6 Server, but dhcpd won't start with FQDNs there so that's correct.

fix coming momentarily

Is this (annoying) restriction still valid?

In 2.4.4p3 i get following error:

The following input errors were detected:

A valid IPv6 address must be specified for the primary/secondary NTP servers.
