[c-nsp] NTP Server

[Earls, Michael]

There was a project (http://www.pool.ntp.org) created with David Mills to
address the resource consumption on timeservers. Adrian von Bidder thoughts
were to use DNS round robin to spread the load over many network time
servers.  This project coincides with David Mills the author of NTP
(http://www.ntp.org).

If this translates to "abuse", clearly not.

But up to 3 stratum 2 servers per user/organization should be ok if
the guidlelines in the NTP documentation by D. Mills is followed and
the clients are not configured to poll more frequent than NTP will
using default settings.
