My NTP server on a VPS dies occasionally (twice now) ... which results in a service interruption. See https://www.ntppool.org/scores/203.57.51.100

Looking in the syslog shows:

Aug 21 03:29:56 combine-window dhclient[507]: DHCPREQUEST for 203.57.51.100 on eth0 to 103.16.128.248 port 67 (xid=0x4311e9a7)

Aug 21 03:31:29 combine-window ntpd[814]: Deleting interface #7 eth0, 2404:9400:1:0:216:3eff:fef2:1a8a#123, interface stats: received=0, sent=0, dropped=0, active_time=7 secs

I am currently prevent the problem by making NTP ipv4 only.

Can anyone suggest what causes this problem???

Thank you, Richard.
