[ntp:questions] Poll interval vs. reachability register

Hello,
I have a simple question. If the reachability of a server from a client
drops to zero, will the client's poll interval be increased until
reachability is reestablished? I'm curious, as my ntp_clients_stats script
picked up a certain client as abusive. I emailed the admin and he said that
my server had a zero reachability, but he thought that ntpd would reduce the
polling interval in such a situation. I'm just trying to determine why the
ntp_clients_stats script would pick up that client as abusive if the client
cannot even reach my server, outside of a bug or error of some kind.
Thanks,
