[ntp:questions] ntp server config help

Hi all,

Anyone done this ?
I want to config a server, say, 192.168.1.1, that will (a) serve time
to my other machines (say, 192.168.1.2/3/4...), and (b) periodically 
dial an
ISP which will allow it to sync HIS time to an accurate source somewhere.

Great clock accuracy is NOT req'd, and I have to keep the phone calls 
short.
I have ntp ver. 4.2.0 on a 2.6.14.7 linux embedded dist. on a Freescale 
board.

Is there a way to jam the server's time quickly once the ISP's been 
dialed ?
(Would this even be a good idea?)  Might I just use ntpdate to quickly sync
up once I've dialed my ISP ?

Thank for the help!!

Martin Rogers
