We're having issues syncing to all nist servers:
https://tf.nist.gov/tf-cgi/servers.cgi

But are easily able to sync to time.google.com and pool.ntp.org.

ntpq -p shows reach numbers that clearly indicate intermittent failures (even numbers etc) when going against any nist server (including time.nist.gov, but zero failures and almost immediate reach of 377 when syncing to pool.ntp.org or time.google.com.

Unfortunately, government regulations require us to sync to a public NIST server.  Any ideas?
