But shouldn't be server keep a list of KODed clients and ignore them, as per

Is that in minutes, as in the cumulative average query rate over the last
(hour? day? week?) unit period of time?

I assume that means that any two packets within two minutes of each other
trigger the discard/KOD? If so, isn't that overly restrictive for ntpd's
own 64-second initial query interval?
