Please see minpoll and maxpoll that are equally applicable to servers
and peers:
http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/html/ntpd.html#poll
http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/html/confopt.html
but I guess this doesn't help you set up an embedded system.

Anyway, why do you want to change the settings?  The default scheme
normally works perfectly well...
