One of the things on my to-do-list is to revisit the netdate source to
pin this bug down.
In the mean time, if you put a FQDN as the host parameter, it should work:
it does for me.
The source "as released" used to work for me until I updated bind to
4.9.3 beta 17. Apparently, one of the fixes in bind broke netdate.
Cheers,
Stephen.
