It looks like the DNS server `139.178.70.122 (m1.ntppool.org)` is in trouble.

```auto
$ dig +tcp www.mapper.ntppool.org @m1.ntppool.org.
;; Connection to 139.178.70.122#53(139.178.70.122) for www.mapper.ntppool.org failed: connection refused.
$ 

```

With UDP it times out.

Whoops – thank you.

Most of the systems use daemontools. On this one (for the [dnsmapper](https://www.mapper.ntppool.org/) I tried to do the modern Linux thing and use systemd but didn’t realize that “restart on failure” isn’t the default.
