Hi,
this slipped me too at first, but do take note of the $virtual fact.

As Patrick noted, the $ntpserver variable is biting you here, which is
indeed strange. You may want to try and include its declaration in the
ntpserver class proper.
Also, it appears valid to include a default value in your template, see
http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/puppet/wiki/Puppet_Templating on
the topic of undefined variables.
HTH,
Felix
