Where is this recommended?  URL, please.  I've never had the

This was recommended to me on this list several months ago.  I am running my 
windows client on a corporate LAN and it was suggested that the PLL would not 
correct fast enough at polling intervals over 128 seconds.  The problem I am 
seeing is that when FLL is implemented the frequency swings excessively and the 
offset does not train toward zero.  This would not be needed for setups using 
GPS/PPS reference clocks.

Please use your "Return" or "Enter" key. MicroSoft will let you write lines in excess of 500 characters. It's rather tough for many of us to read it.

You may have other problems but you should expect NTPD to need as long as ten hours to settle. If you are trying to run "9 AM to 5 PM you have made some poor choices. NTPD can take up to TEN HOURS to get the best time you can get. Once it's settled, it should not have any problem maintaining synchronization.
