NTPd fails to sync when DNS used

Hi, I have a freshly updated
12.0-RELEASE-p8 FreeBSD 12.0-RELEASE-p8 r350387 GENERIC amd64
where NTPd stopped working saying:
Code:
Jul 28 14:32:28 wasp ntpd[1194]: giving up resolving host ntp1.hetzner.de: servname not supported for ai_socktype (9)
Jul 28 14:32:28 wasp ntpd[1194]: giving up resolving host ntp2.hetzner.com: servname not supported for ai_socktype (9)
Jul 28 14:32:28 wasp ntpd[1194]: giving up resolving host ntp3.hetzner.net: servname not supported for ai_socktype (9)
the workaround was to resolve the names for it (since resolving works, only NTPd seems to have a problem with this):
grep ^server /etc/ntp.conf
Code:
server 213.239.239.164      iburst
server 213.239.239.165      iburst
server 213.239.239.166      iburst
server 2a01:4f8:0:a0a1::2:1 iburst
server 2a01:4f8:0:a112::2:2 iburst
server 2a01:4f8:0:a101::2:3 iburst

On -STABLE there seems to be no issue:
12.0-STABLE FreeBSD 12.0-STABLE r349848 GENERIC amd64
grep ^server /etc/ntp.conf
Code:
server  ntp1.hetzner.de  iburst
server  ntp2.hetzner.com iburst
server  ntp3.hetzner.net iburst
ntpq -pnw
Code:
     remote           refid      st t when poll reach   delay   offset  jitter

For some reason ntpd(8) was started before the network was active. This resulted in the botched name lookups. You can try to use SYNCDHCP if you use DHCP or use netwait to make sure the network is active before continuing the boot process.
