Doesn't iburst violate the "more than 5 per minute" rule?

Yes.  But with the default NTP settings, it shouldn't violate the old
20 requests/hour guideline.  iburst should be reserved for hosts
providing NTP services to other machines, and not used by end-client
workstations.

Time to start a different thread, perhaps.

My understanding of iburst is that it is for /any/ NTP client, whether providing downstream services or not. Indeed, it is particular appropriate for end-client workstations which may be up and down more than servers, and therefore have more need of the quick synchronisation which iburst can provide.
