I don't profess to be an expert on ntpd, but here's my $0.02.

The `when' column is the time in seconds *since* ntpd received a
message from that peer. This, along with delay|offset at 0 and jitter
at 4000, indicates problems talking to your refclock.

The `poll' column tells you that ntpd is continuing to query the
refclock every 16 seconds. You can alter this behaviour with the
`minpoll' and `maxpoll' server configuration options [0].

Hope this helps.
