I just did a quick test with a windows desktop:

keys "... ntp.keys"
trustedkey 123

restrict source nomodify

tos cohort 1 orphan 11

manycastserver 224.0.1.1
manycastclient 224.0.1.1 key 123 preempt
multicastclient 224.0.1.1 key 123 preempt
broadcastclient

server CORPLAN007 key 123 iburst noselect
server CORPWAN214 key 123 iburst preempt noselect

pool us.pool.ntp.org iburst preempt


Within 15 seconds ntp had mobilized 6 LAN servers,
  and 4 servers from the pool (reach of 0);

 By 7 minutes ntp had mobilized 6 servers from the pool
  (3 with reach of 77, 3 with reach of 37);

 By 10 minutes reach was 377,
  and ntp had already started pruning servers;

 By 15 minutes ntp had pruned the servers back down to 10
  (7 from the pool);

 By 1hr, the poll rate for the pool had climbed from 1min to 4 min.

 By 2hrs, it had not tossed anymore servers,
  nor mobilized anymore from the pool.


 {Why did it reject some of the LAN servers?
   It did so, due to some of them doing testing with precision=-5,
    and using tos orphan 11 floor 4;
   (they're discipline coarse increments are 16.666ms, 1/60th sec)}.
