There are various things broken, but as far as I know in stretch
things should just work.

You seem to say that this is related to getting the ntp servers
from dhcp, but that's not making sense to me.  The dhcp server
should give you IP addresses, so it can never be a problem with
DNS, the peers should always be there.
