My netsork's xntpd server syncs to the local clock whenever it can't
reach the outside servers.  This machine is on a demand-dial ppp link,
and ntp packets don't cause a dial or keep the link up.

THe biggest problem I have is when I download a bunch of stuff for a
long enough period of time that the ntp packets are delayed...
