I wouldn't check on the asterisk being before any specific server. If you're looking for basic sanity tests, check for the presence of the asterisk in _any_ row. Then check the server it's in front of. If it's the local clock, something is wrong with all the other servers (chances are it's your Internet connection). If it's an external reference, it should have 'reasonable' values for stratum, reach, delay, offset, jitter. Once you've confirmed basic synchronisation, you _might_ check for associations that are currently rejected. But that's decidedly optional. All this is more or less heuristic.
