63.240.161.99 is actually synced to time-a.nist.gov and if you query 
time-a.nist.gov you get one source there, the local clock, although it is 
synced by the ACTS dial service. Maybe there's something wrong with the ACTS 
service and time-a.nist.gov is unable to sync, so it's wandering and 
63.240.161.99 is following it blindly, apparently.

If that's the case, you'd think that the ntpd at 63.240.161.99 would have 
declared time-a.nist.gov a falseticker a long time ago and chosen one of its 
other configured servers. Given that it hasn't though it might indicate 
there are no other configured servers, which is never a good configuration 
as we all can see.
