I've seen similar problems with PPP links over ssh - the link comes up, but on the PPP host the route to the remote end is via the ether interface. This is true for all pkts, not just ntp (which doesn't run over this particular link). You can fix it by deleting a static route on the ppp host, and it all starts working again. I _think_ this is caused by ppp not removing routes it adds before the tunX interface goes down, and then the kernel re-binds the route via a seemingly viable non-down interface (i.e. the default route), and won't re-bind it when the tunX interface comes up. But it happens rarely so I've not nailed down the exact circumstances. Yours sounds like the same problem, but the kill-&-restart ntp works because killing it releases the last usecount on the bogus route, so it gets dropped and then recreated properly when you restart ntp.
