I'm not familiar with D4. Note that there are several time services
that are not related to ntpd. If your /etc/inetd.conf has lines like
this
daytime stream tcp nowait root internal
daytime dgram udp wait root internal
then the responses may actually be coming from inetd instead of ntpd.
If you try to use ntpdate (the client that comes with ntpd) to fetch
time from a server, it will fail unless the server is itself
synchronized with lower-stratum server. ntpd will likewise refuse to
synchronize with an isolated server.

I suggest you use
xntpdc -s
to find out what servers your daemon is trying to access, and what
success it's having. Note that ntpd will synchronize with only one
server. It uses all the other nodes for sanity checks.
You can also use
xntpdc -s <servername>
to learn the same things about each server you are trying to use.
Sort of like "ping", but specialized for NTP protocol.
