Thank you.  And thank you.  I had a great deal of help with the design 
from Jim Mock of The FreeBSD'zine (http://www.freebsdzine.org).

Yes.  xntpd can be both a server and a client at the same time.

My settings for NetLab on the Time tab under Clock synchronization are: 

Time server: the name of my FreeBSD box which runs xntpd
SNTP is selected.

One other thought: is the freebsd box allowing the time protocol both in 
/etc/services and in your firewall (if any)?  Check for port 37 both udp 
and tcp.

Tell us if it works.
