Yes, I discovered the UDPness of it last night and went
through the rules again. I am pretty sure they are correct (or
at least I cannot see anything wrong). I would assume that ntpdate
also uses UDP - and using that I can see all these servers ?

No, everything is static. It has to be some error in my PF config
file somewhere I guess, just hard to work out where.

yes, I too am doing this on a machine elsewhere, which is why this is
so frustrating! I know it works, I even have it working on a different
network, and it particlaly works here too (it can see one NTP machine on
the far side NAT, just none further away). I will continue looking

Thanks,
