The solution is to make NTP more persistent when probing
  the remote time server.
 This is done by appending the flags burst and iburst to
  the remote server;
   burst tells NTP to send a burst of eight packets to the
   remote server instead of one when the server is reachable,
   and iburst tells it to do the same when the server is not
   reachable.
 The result is faster and more reliable synchronizations.

Stephen Vaughan would likely benefit from "iburst";
 However if Stephen Vaughan turns on "burst",
  his NTP clients may be treated as a source of abuse.
