None of this has anything to do with the servers. It's all about your 
local server and it's  attempt to send packets. Bad file descriptor 
means that the file descriptor you are attempting to use is bad. Someone 
else has pointed out you may have another instance running. 
Alternatively your IP address changed and the socket that was opened on 
the port is no longer valid and you need to restart ntpd.
