[ntp:questions] Rejected peers. But why?

Hi,

On a system that has been running for quite some time now i find that
the ntpq output looks like this:

|      remote           refid      st t when poll reach   delay   offset jitter
| ==============================================================================
|  nscache1.dmz.bi 213.136.0.252    2 u  585 1024  377    0.614    0.058 0.310

|   3 19969  902a   yes   yes  none    reject    sys_peer  2
|   4 19970  963a   yes   yes  none  sys.peer    sys_peer  3

Can someone please explain why the first three peers are in 'condition:
reject' and wether or not this will recover automaticaly? The poll,
reach, delay, offset and jitter values do not seem way out of hand to
me. Why is ntpd not syncing to the three peers?

I'm fairly certain it will sync to them when i restart the process, but
for now i'll leave it like this...

Thanks,
-Sndr.
