It is working now, but with stability problems.

Since the time source is an internet ntp host, the service is working only
sometimes. On the client side i always see the Multicast NTP Server,
also the reach goes up to 377.

But when i type "ntpq -p" is only sometimes see the "*" before the servers
IP.

Also it also doesnt work if the multicast Server has an "Local" (Local(0))
Entry.

It is an low latency link, ping are round about 800 - 1000 ms.

Can this delay be the problem?
