I have occasionally had a GPS NTS server goes slowly insane. That is,
it starts to differ from the others (we have 6 world wide) by 1, 2,

What bothers me about "prefer" is that if the preferred one goes
insane, how long will clients that prefer it follow it? How does
"prefer" actually effect the choice and weighting function.
Could people with actual internals/algorithm knowledge respond? Also,
if it matters, this is NTP 3.5f (HP-UX 11.11).
NTP 3.5f is history so ancient that few now living even remember it.
Start by downloading a copy of the reference implementation
http://ntp.isc.org/bin/view/Main/SoftwareDownloads and building it for
your system(s). If the current implementation still exhibits this
behavior, file a bug report.
