I could think of some kind of misuse-protection, we discussed this
several times. If a client polling rate is too high, send it the wrong
time...

Probably this is just an attempt of the owner of this server to reduce
the load caused by mad clients. I just issued a sequence of ntpdate
calls and it seems that I am blocked by that server automatically after
a couple of requests (for a short time).

Maybe you should contact this operator and ask him to rise his threshold
for triggering counter measurements (in order to allow ntpdate to do its
job).

Best regards,
Heiko
