# This test verifies that systemd-timesyncd can resolve the NTP server hostname when DNSSEC validation
# fails even though it is enforced in the systemd-resolved settings. It is required in order to solve
# the chicken-and-egg problem when DNSSEC validation needs the correct time to work, but to set the
# correct time, we need to connect to an NTP server, which usually requires resolving its hostname.
#
# This test does the following:
# - Sets up a DNS server (tinydns) listening on the eth1 ip addess, serving .ntp and fake.ntp records.
# - Configures that DNS server as a resolver and enables DNSSEC in systemd-resolved settings.
# - Configures systemd-timesyncd to use fake.ntp hostname as an NTP server.
# - Performs a regular DNS lookup, to ensure it fails due to broken DNSSEC.
# - Waits until systemd-timesyncd resolves fake.ntp by checking its debug output.
# Here, we don't expect systemd-timesyncd to connect and synchronize time because there is no NTP
# server running. For this test to succeed, we only need to ensure that systemd-timesyncd
# resolves the IP address of the fake.ntp host.
