[issue1243] dntpd(8) blocks during startup

[Hasso Tepper (via DragonFly issue tracker)]

New submission from Hasso Tepper <hasso at estpak.ee>:

If dntpd(8) is started with network configured, but not really usable yet, 
dntpd(8) blocks trying to resolve servers names and connect to them before the 
main loop.

It's common in wireless networks where you can make association with AP and 
get a IP address, but  you have to authenticate yourself via web to really 
reach a network. So, your network is configured at boot, but it will block 
there at dntpd(8) startup and you have to press a Ctrl+C to continue (or wait 
for a long time).
