Not to be expected at all!   Is there some problem with your network 
connection to 66.92.250.40?  It seems strange that your system would 
synchronize to the local clock, synchronize to 66.92.250.40 and then 
synchronize to the local clock again if everything were working properly.

After burken has been running for at least one hour, please post the 
output of "ntpq -p".   Also post a copy of /etc/ntp.conf
