Dave, Here's what I see:
I configure a server to have a preempt association. Instead of showing in the servers list with a KOD as you said, it doesn't show up at all. Will this preemptable server ever be contacted again? I came up the preempt server option because I wanted to have a backup server in case of failure of the main ones. But because this server runs Windows XP, it's pretty jittery, and because it was close and was of a higher stratum than other more consistent servers, it ended up being picked as the sync server. But in spite of NTP's decision, it's still a poor time reference. Or perhaps would letting the client do its best on its own be better than using a poor backup server?
