Yes, I did go overboard. I edited the results of a "ntpq -p" after the
service had _just_ been restarted and put the "377" reach strings in
just to emphasize that the server is indeed reaching its own sources.
Sorry, but that's a red herring. To be extra clear, here's the output
as it looks right now with only hostnames altered:

[root at hostname /root]# ntpq -p
     remote           refid      st t when poll reach   delay   offset
 jitter

Hope that clears things up. Sorry if that caused undue confusion.
