Sometimes at boot DNS may not be available (e.g. an external line
being down), yet you'd want your servers to not reject an external
NTP server in their config, but rather continue using it once the
connectivity is back.

Using an address instead of a DNS name provides this.

| Why would you need to use ipv6 notation? Try ntp.ipv6.viagenie.qc.ca,
