Actually, this is easy enough to resolve. Dr. Mills has mentioned some additional options I had not heard of, whereby ntpd will monitor the remote server, but won't actually use it. This should allow you to monitor much larger groups of servers.

You've still got a scaling issue, but this should push the problem out to measuring hundreds or maybe a thousand or more servers, as opposed to 50-100.

If you email me the specifics off-list then I'd be interested in trying it out. :-)
