Suppose I were to move the refclock to my (dual-homed) firewall --
where (in theory) a per-interface fudge could be specified for the
interface to my cable modem (but *not* for the interface to my LAN).
Would that make it more feasible to do what I need?

Or, alternatively, could some sort of filter application be devised
that would sit on my firewall (currently a Linux box) and fudge the
NTP packets going between my stratum-1 server and the outside?  (Yes,
I agree this could easily end up being a messy kludge, but . . . .)
