Now if we could just get ISP's to load this on their name servers and
make this visible to their clients.... The last time I checked, neither
@Home nor RCN offered a time server, so I have to go to one of the
public 2nd tier servers. However, to reduce load, I use ntpdate once a
day to sync and then serve time to my LAN boxen.

Presumably an NTP server can coexist with a name server without unduly
loading the box? (I'm just looking for ammo to lobby my ISP's with.)
