That confuses you, and maybe it also confuses ntpdate and ntpq.
host ntp.myfloridacity.us ntp.myfloridacity.us has address 71.40.128.148 host 71.40.128.148 148.128.40.71.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer csnserver.com. host csnserver.com csnserver.com has address 71.40.128.150 host 71.40.128.150 150.128.40.71.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer mail.csnserver.com. So, the forward and reverse mappings do not match. Try ntpq -pn instead and see what IP it shows.
