For the record, here is what you want in the rules:

REDIRECT        lan     123             udp     123
REDIRECT        pub     123             udp     123

Simple & easy - i use this all the time and it works well for me.

If you have systems on those LANs which use NTP rather than SNTP (the
cut-down version used by Windows), then you probably want to make
exceptions for them.
