Hi Judah, There is no new release yet (the 4.2.4p6 was just a patch release to fix a couple or minor issues mainly related to OpenSSL. It is most unlikely that ntp is doing this. Did you take a couple of the addresses and query them with ntpq? I don't think that ntpd can be configured to query that quickly. Harlan is preparing a new stable release from the development branch. Dave has added KOD code to deal with situations like this and such clients are likely to find their clock drifting off if the do not follow the protocols.
