chrony discarding servers
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
I seem to keep having a problem with chrony dropping back to 127.127.1.1..
I saw in chrony.conf 
# Note that if Chrony tries to go "online" and dns lookup of the servers
# fails they will be discarded.  Thus under some circumstances it is 
# better to use IP numbers than host names.
So I commented out the default servers and went with some IP's. 
server 216.45.57.38 offline minpoll 8
server 216.14.97.75 offline minpoll 8
#server 0.debian.pool.ntp.org offline minpoll 8
#server 1.debian.pool.ntp.org offline minpoll 8
#server 2.debian.pool.ntp.org offline minpoll 8
#server 3.debian.pool.ntp.org offline minpoll 8
Which I still end up with this everyday.

However if I restart chrony it will come back online as usual.
# /etc/init.d/chrony restart
Restarting time daemon: chronyd is running and online.
