I think this bug should concentrate on the key issue: that ntp (and maybe others?) is being brought up on the wrong event, that is it comes up with the interface, and not with the chosen type of name server.

In our case NIS provides user and name server resolution, and ntp comes up before it with 12.04

I don't know how LDAP is handled, but from the above comments it would appear be have the same problem, and so ntp is not currently able to resolve machines given only by NIS (or LDAP) name if they are not in the DNS (which I guess might be common with a large private network behind NAT).
