I have that set to 1920 in ntp-4.2.2, which I calculate is the maximum
number of IPv4 addresses that can be returned to ntpdc without changing
the protocol (max 128 UDP packets).  Note that I need to use an earlier
version of ntpdc, which is not IPv6 aware, to get the full list.  I also
had to increase ntpdc's receive socket buffer size to cope
(rbufsize = INITDATASIZE * 9), but that might be an OS issue.
