chronyd keeps using the deleted NTP servers in SRV DNS record in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8

Solution Unverified - Updated -

Issue

  • The chronyd was configured to use the multiple NTP servers in SRV DNS record with the following command.
# systemctl start chrony-dnssrv@_ntp._udp.example.redhat.com.timer
  • DNS was configured for the SRV query.
  • One of the NTP server was deleted from DNS (both A record and SRV record), but chronyd kept using the deleted NTP server and made unneeded DNS queries.
