How does a 100Mbit LAN connected server compare to two (or even 10) '256kbit uplink DSL' servers? At the same time an overloaded pipe is bad, no matter the size of it...
You can support thousands to tens of thousands of NTP clients with a 128K ISDN or 256K DSL link; one is only using around 5 kilobits/sec per thousand clients...at least if the clients are polling at sane rates.
Even a crowded pipe isn't too bad if you use QoS, but if your round-trip latency is not relatively stable, that will make your server a poor NTP candidate...
