Back in April, I created few scripts to monitor ntp usage, see:
http://www.schlitt.net/scripts/ntp/

I asked people, if they wished, to run these scripts and to post URLs
to these stats here on the list.  Here is a list of URLs that I can
quickly find:

http://www.schlitt.net/ntpstats/ntp_stats.txt     (6.21 req/sec)
http://zoiedog.com/ntpstats                       (16.04 req/sec)
http://ntp.theremailer.net/ntpstats/ntp_stats.txt (8.09 req/sec)
http://ntp.vuntz.net/stats/                       (10.29 req/sec)
http://ntp1.pulsation.fr/ntpstats/ntp_stats.txt   (16.59 req/sec)
http://ntp2.pulsation.fr/ntpstats/ntp_stats.txt   (17.67 req/sec)
http://ntp3.pulsation.fr/ntpstats/ntp_stats.txt   (10.31 req/sec)
http://ntp.kawoo.co.uk/ntpstats/ntp_stats.txt     (8.62 req/sec)
http://ntp.raggedstaff.net/ntp_stats/             (13.58 req/sec)
http://ntp0.netinform.hu/ntpstats/ntp_stats.txt   (5.59 req/sec)

The req/sec values are from the long term request rate.

Also, these rates increasing, for me, it has about doubled in the last
4 months.  This rate of growth, about 8x per year, is about the rate
of growth that my logs have shown for the last year and a half.  So,
it is important to not only update the estimated number of packets per
second, but also note the date that this estimate was made and warn
that the load will double ever 3-6 months.

My server is basically only used for the pool and it is reasonably new
(I switch IP addresses in April.)  As you can see, it is the
second lowest on the list.  The rest don't seem out of line for a pool
server that has been around for a long time.
