Hggdh,
I agree with your points.

I tried commenting out the exit 0 in the script Matt mentions. Ntp works at boot time now. It also gets restarted if I ifdown eth0; ifup eth0. Still have ntpdate being run after ntp has started and it fails because ntp is running. In ntp.conf a mix of server lines using IP and FQDN works fine.

Watching the boot process it looks like ntp is being started early on then being restarted after the network is up.
