IIRC, ntpd should not cause large-scale changes to the time that might wreak havoc with your router. It should only be making changes in the rate at which the clock ticks, so as to speed it up or slow it down, to the point where you are more or less in sync with your reference(s). It would be ntpdate that would be the potentially dangerous one making large-scale changes to your system time.I do see one contraindication to this behavior. Most routing protocols also react badly to time changes. Egg and chicken problem, but, personally, and running OSPF, which is one of those protocols that react badly to time changes, I find it preferably to run the router first.
Therefore, you definitely want the router stuff before the ntpd stuff.
