I'm a little puzzled about this statement. I just took a look at the
URL you listed, and one thing I noticed is that the page makes no
reference to NTP as an external source for timing information. The
page does mention "Initialize the time manually or by dialing out to a
time service..." and "Schedule periodic dial-outs to a time service".
Based on what I've read about STP (which I admit is not exhaustive),
it looks like the z-box might not be able to time sync with the
firewall if that box only supports NTP.
I get the impression that an ETR (or something like an ETR) might
still be required with STP. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm
wrong! :-)
